@n3ro As @leader21 pointed out there is a plugin which utilizes DWD weather alerts data which is already freely available since one or two years, at least. I can imagine however, that “open access” would allow or force DWD to provide the data with a higher granularity.
As stated in the article the political discussion was initially about making even more data accessible like weather observation data. No wonder, this resulted in strong objections by the private weather services which makes a hell lot of money with selling weather data and creating ad-polluted weather apps and sites of mediocre quality for the masses. To me, the resulting law is a lame duck as it rules what already is common practice.
Btw, it is possible to access a small excerpt of the weather observation data through the DWD web site. This is uitlized by the pimatic-dwd-weather plugin.
Below you can see an example of the pimatic-dwd weather alert widget for pimatic:
