German courts seem to be a lot like Florida people. Does this mean that the employer now has effectively full control of the person's home? The employer could require substantial changes to comply with workplace safety. Does the employer get to now have access to the home at will to ensure no clutter is about causing a safety violation?

Yes, this is not hard to understand is it?

Remote work is not just a cool HN cult word, it means things. Even if you don't agree you should understand as an adult in a job this is how the world works. Falls on stars walking to a work desk have been claimed in other countries, this is not new. The 'commute' bit is interesting, but I assume that's just because the insurance company was trying not to pay because the worker was not at work yet.

This attitude is bullshit. When I travel for fun I have insurance. If you employer makes you travel they also should have insurance, I can do what I want in my unpaid time away for work but I don't want to be there, I want to be home, at home I have less risk than in this new place. We understand it's more expensive away from home, we should also understand there's more risk.
