Moved from the Vodafone article by the admin and for discussion:

"Make sure your device supports LTE bands 7/20 (2600Mhz/800Mhz respectively), otherwise your connection will be very limited - mostly web browsing, facebook, and google maps. Many apps, including but not limited to messaging apps like whatsapp, facebook messenger, telegram will not work. This has been verified on a OnePlus One device running CM13.1 in Munich."

You are right that Vodafone uses mostly LTE bands 7 and 20 in Germany and not the ususal 1800 MHz (3) so far. But it's 3G is quite fast. Testing live in Berlin, I get on Vodafone's 3G 16 Mbit/s DL and 4 Mbit/s UL - I can't imagine, that it's very different in Munich. And this of course sufficient for these apps to be used.

There may be one problem, if you have only one of their LTE band in your device, that your phone sticks to 4G/LTE rather than falling back to 3G which may give better speeds. This you can force by selecting 3G networks only in your phone's software, if you have the 2100 MHz 3G band.
