From recollection they introduced the trickery rule...

after Bundesliga players immediately started this kind of s**t when the rule came in in 1992.

Also, back then, it was only for contact with the ball by the foot and shin. So the crafty Germans would just get down on their knees and thigh the ball back to the keeper.
