This is simply not true, certainly not for the example. See https://www.immowelt.de/liste/pegnitz/haeuser/kaufen?lat=49.... for listings of Pignitz. Standard (although well sized) row houses go from 250.000. Pieces of land where you can build go for 200k per acre (https://www.immowelt.de/liste/pegnitz/grundstuecke/kaufen?la...)
You are looking at the wrong place (Pegnitz is a suburb of Bayreuth in Bavaria, Prignitz is a rural district in Brandenburg).
Looking at houses for sale in the state of Brandenburg with price limit of €10k gives several results (some of them probably dubious but not all): https://www.immobilienscout24.de/Suche/de/brandenburg/haus-k...
It will not be a comfy home for a family but for the type of stuff discussed above it would do (e.g. a formerly abandoned but still standing/stable house).
As long as it doesn't have convenient access to the rail network or an autobahn you can find a plot with a small, old house on it even 2-3 hours drive from Berlin for next to nothing in a village that had 2x today's population in 1990 (and everyone left there today are old people).
EDIT: example via quick googling of the least-densely populated districts in Germany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prignitz
It has fewer people living in it today than it had in 1875 (earliest available data) & half as much as it had in its peak in 1950. It is about 2 hours drive from Berlin according to google maps.
