Whilst off Airport landings may be illegal in some states, there is an implication in the tone of the above posts that off airport landings are fundamentally unsafe
My intention was to point out the missing permission for an off-airport landing thus the "excuse" of a passenger being sick.

I didn't mean to state that off aiport landings are unsafe if properly executed but in Germany private pilots usually are not allowed to land at other places but approved airfields.
We all remember what happened the last time a private pilot intended to make an off airport landing without being trained the proper way:
