Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. is publicly funded. Germany can unilaterally decide to publish the norms that do not incorporate other (usually ISO) standards.

No, they cannot. DIN e.V. also gets money from selling norms and other stuff, in fact almost 60%:

No it is an e.V. so it is a non-commercial non-state entity. Bayern Munich is such an entity.
