Swastikas aren't outlawed outright, they're fine when displayed in a disapproving way, such as a crossed out swastika or a swastika being thrown in a bin.
This is a different case though, I'm not sure if he could have argued he used it to disapprove of the AfDs fascist policies and get away with it.
He's an SPD politician though. It's far more plausible that he did it to express disapproval than approval, even before talking to him.
