So what does Germany have now that they've scrapped it?
Overworked healthcare staff since nobody can realistically replace the cheap labor coming from a government program, plus an understaffed military (180k personnel instead of 203k as per the budget).
There's the federal volunteer service, which is the spiritual successor. Basically the same thing, but without being forced into it. There also voluntary social or ecological years, which is kind of the same thing as well.
