ATMs have fixed limits due to anti-money laundering laws. I’ve never been charged a fee for withdrawing cash at the counter. If you want to withdraw larger amounts, you just have to notify them in advance because of the legal requirements, but I’ve never been charged for it. At Sparkasse, though, I could imagine that might be the case.

There's literally zero legal risk of money laundering with cash that comes out of an ATM. It's already coming from a trusted source (the bank).

AML risk is when you deposit large sums of cash into a bank
