Nah, Europe had black people.
I mean, yes, black people were present but in very small numbers, and their presence was rare enough that they often stood out significantly in the historical record. The most were probably around the southern borders of todays europe, like spain, italy and greece, but black people in todays germany, poland or even further up north were an absolute rarity. Even in southern europe, black people were rare enough that many people only saw a handful of them in their lifetime.
Germany nor Poland made the white jesus, your bringing up an entirely moot point

German art of jesus.
I don't know polish so idk what to look for, but I'm very certain I'd find some white jesus art from that timeframe from a polish artist.

Many people only saw a hundred people in their lifetime. Most people were farmers. There were no trains or TV then.
Those people weren't the ones painting paintings and writing stories
Yeah, those people saw plenty of black people
Yeah, but these were painted in Italy.
They've barely got any black people even now.
Yeah the Moors controlled the Iberian peninsula for nearly 800 years from 711-1492.
The moors were mostly Arabs and Berbers, though.
Yes, and Jesus was from the middle east, so the people of europe would not be unaware of what people from there might look like.
