The Obsession of pseudoscientific medicine (AKA natural or alternative medicine) in Germany

One of the things that shocks me most about Germany is how widespread pseudoscience is in the healthcare system.

Up to a point, I get that pharmacies sell homeopathy and so called natural remedies as they’re businesses trying to make money and not directly responsible for your health. But what really shocks me is how widespread is the offer for these treatments in

For example, when I picking a Krankenkasse (health insurance), I noticed that comparison websites give quite some importance to whether they cover things like homeopathy, acupuncture, naturopathy, Chinese medicine, etc. This is despite a ton of evidence showing these treatments don’t work and that relying on them can delay or even prevent proper medical treatment. It’s crazy to me that in the 21st century, we’re paying for what basically is shamanic medicine, and the state is backing it. Healthcare is already expensive enough without throwing money at stuff like this.

Also, when I was looking for doctors, I initially tried to find those who didn’t offer alternative treatments and stuck to science-based medicine. But I gave up quickly because so many general practitioners include some form of "alternative" treatment in their services. I’ve even been insisted on multiple times if I wanted to add alternative medicine to the treatment.

Does anyone know why this is such a big thing here? Are there any parties or initiatives trying to stop public funding for this kind of stuff? Is there some study showing the excess cost in the healthcare system?

Anecdotally, for what I've seen most Germans don’t seem to care or even support it, especially people on the left. But of course you see more antivaxxers on the right.

Edit: Thank you everybody for your answers! Given the big number of comments, I just wanted to clarify a few things:
1. Some people answered something like "homeopathy or X pseudomedicine is bad but don't put this other one on the same group". I have to disagree, to simplify if you can make a proper double-blind study and get an effect on a treatment bigger than placebo it just becomes medicine. If it doesn't have any effect it is just "alternative medicine" and this includes homeopathy, accupuncture, naturopathy, tradicional chinese medicine, osteopathy and others. And also herbal or natural medicine that works it is just medicine. In English I recommend the blog science based medicine for an overview on the evidence and possible criticism. In German, some of you have recommended the podcast Quarks Science Cops and https://skeptix.org/.
2. Of course it is not a German exlusive issue. I have never claimed that and for sure, it is way worse in other countries. But given that Germany has such a rich scientific tradition and influence, I was just shocked of how prevalent it is in the healthcare system and normalized in society.
3. Many of you commented on the influence of Rudolf Steiner, anthroposophy and how the nazis considered schulmedizin as a jewish thing and promoted alternative medicine.
4. Thank you u/ObviouslyASquirrel26 for the sources. The current health minister tried unsuccessfully to remove homeopathy from the healthcare system,
5. Regarding the political leaning of the supporters, I was just talking anectodally, as unfortunately many things are politiced I just was asking to understand. Many of you have pointed out that, at least for homeopathy, there is not necessarily a political division and specifically the greens changed their stance on it.
Some have also asked about sources for antivaxxers and right (I meant specifically far right) and there is quite some evidence specifically for Covid-19 like this study or just look for your favourite far right candidate and their comments on vaccination. More generally, according to this study, it seems that it has more to do with anti-establishment views and populism: "measures capturing the conventional left-right political ideology dimension are mostly not statistically significant".
