I've noticed that (at least here in Germany) some walls are painted so that a tiny fraction of the upper wall has the same color as the ceiling. Why do people do that? I find this not so pretty.

Surely this is down to personal preference, but here in the UK you might find that a room that has a picture rail painted in a similar manner.
The ceiling colour will be painted above the rail with a different colour painted below the rail.
One objective reason might be to hide imperfections in the join between the walls and ceiling. If the ceiling is uneven you'd get a wavy line around the room. Painting a stripe of the same colour around the wall could reduce the impact of this.
