I've never seen "1" written like that. Is it a German thing?

I think it's a "Europe minus UK" thing, but I don't know for sure. Pretty certain though that the French write it like that too.

But then again the French put speech inside these <<>> which is just inconsiderate imo 🤧

Funnily enough we have these in Spanish as well, but we don't use them for dialogue. For that we use a simple line (— or –). We also refer to « » as comillas españolas or Spanish quotations
