The video is from Austria not Germany but I guess it's close enough.

Similar videos were circulating the web a few years ago.
IIRC it started at a trade show for heavy machinery, the manufacturer of that particular machine setup this display to show off their equipment.

Just imagine you have a nice display showing how well your backhoe digs a hole. In the next "booth" over is the competition climbing a wall.


Marketing is all about the "wow" factor.
