Hi. It does not look like there are places in Germany that fit PROSE lenses. Perhaps closest place to you is East Coast in United States, like New York or Massachusetts. People do travel from other countries to get these lenses. Internationally there are only locations in Japan and India. Here are the list of locations in the U.S. and internationally:

The PROSE lens providers have to go through extensive training to learn how to properly fit the contacts, and apparently their lenses have been around for about 20 years. But the PROSE lenses is all I personally have experience with, so cannot really say if these are superior to other sclerals or not. However, I do think getting the correct fit is key. Ultimately if you cannot travel to the PROSE locations, would think it’s worth a try getting fitted by an eye doctor who fits other scleral lenses in Germany or somewhere in Europe. When choosing your doctors, might be worthwhile to ask how long they have been fitting people for scleral lenses or how many people they have fitted with scleral lenses, and/or do some research on them online first so you can get someone with experience.
