Just curious why you are being taught how to file IFR Flight Plans for a VFR qualification?
Because the German ATC will reject any NVFR flight plans which are not filed using IFR way points......
the controller does not know VFR and guides you through IFR waypoints. You could insist you are VFR-NIGHT, but will confuse controller and after a short while, you give up and follow the IFR-light behavior.
Without an IR, IFR flight is not allowed so, you have to be VFR and therefore would have put 'V' in the Flight Rules box of a Flight Plan - so the Controller should not be confused at all.

Learning how to file VFR Flight Plans acceptable for VFR flight at night in your local area (Country) is not the same as being taught how to file IFR Flight Plans.
