It's called "Beratungshilfe" and we can make use of it for more or less
everything, usually to solve issues with landlords, employment law,
social legislation, IOW more essential things, than disputes about
ordered T-shirts. Actually we usually need to pay 15,-€, probably to
avoid misuse of "Beratungshilfe" for bagatelles.

I guess at least a "Pflichtverteidiger" for criminal trials
https://www.dict.cc/?s=pflichtverteidiger is also known in a lot of
other countries, even if somebody is guilty of setting a government
agency on fire.

OTOH in Germany we don't have class actions.

Apart from this consumer centers are not allowed to help against all
kinds of companies.

The German law has got pros and cons. Rich and famous people enjoy
privileges, a well know example is Uli Hoeneß, the former president of
German football club Bayern Munich.
