I can't say I like this practice of the documentation, but this
is not a bug. Have a look at

https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/learning/entering-input.html

“They [braces] may be omitted in some examples in this manual,
but don’t forget them in your own music!”

It is true, however, that the German documentation is generally
not up-to-date (here the braces seem to have been added at some
point). For several years, there has been nobody to update it.
Werner Arnhold seemed interested at some point, not sure if that's
still the case; CCing him. Like everything in LilyPond, translating
the documentation is a volunteer effort. Consider volunteering
yourself if you want up-to-date documentation in your native
language.
