Yeah, I'm in Germany. It used to differ country to country, but since GDPR, you need consent, need to have/give a proper reason for the recording, need to store it in encrypted form, need to provide it to the other party if requested, need to delete it upon request, need to delete it when it has fulfilled it's purpose. Might have forgotten some requirements.
Things are probably less stringent for one private person recording another, but I'd err on the side of caution and always ask for consent. And if you want to record someone doing something illegal, probably ask a lawyer whether that'd be admissable.
