If you work on private users'/private customers' systems, I am pretty sure that you make yourself liable to prosecution according to German laws.
I could imagine that this also is the case if you maintain company-internal systems of the company employing you. Because no company can order you to do something breaking the law without you sharing some share of guilt if complying, assuming you know the order demands you to do something illegal. If prosecuted, there is a chance though that the court would accept mitigating circumstances considering the relationship of dependence between superior employer and subordinate employee.
Since this is your professio and you depend on it making your living, I would definitely ask a lawyer on this, just to be sure.
