Never heard anything like it anywhere else. Modern Germany is just 74 years old, so the founders didn’t live in a completely different world. Still there is no similar reverence.
The constitution, even when it was not considered a constitution for reasons, is revered similarly to the US one though.
I feel like Germany does have a little bit of veneration of like... Bismarck or something, at least politically. Nowhere near the deification of Washington though.
Never came across any veneration of Bismarck. It may be a conservative thing.
It’s probably similar to Republicans worshipping Reagan. (Although Bismarck actually achieved stuff while Reagan just lived at the same time as Gorbatschow)
I'm mostly spitballing here, no worries
