What are you talking about? At all (german) companies I ever worked at is was common to request a "Polizeiliches Führungszeugnis" (essentially police records or the lack of such) first thing during the trial period. This is absolutely common, maybe you just forgot about that?

Not sure at which companies you worked at but outside certain fields it is not common and actually illegal as the Führungszeugnis may contain entries irrelevant to the job. Exceptions include working with children/youth, public officials, security guards, insurance, and some positions in the field of logistics.

Common?? Maybe it is more and more common but it never happened to me in my professional career.
