There's no serious discussions of lifting sanctions in Germany at this point. The war has only barely just begun, Russia is genociding civilians. It would be an extraordinarily ugly public relations outcome for Germany to take that step right now. While NATO and Germany are busy trying to kill Russians with their weapons, pledging more by the day, they're going to stop sanctions? Nope.

Sanctions on Russia will get worse yet. The war will likely get worse yet as well.

While NATO had placed sanctions on Iran, we had to pay for our oil imports through German banks, so a bit unsure if the German would ever leave money on the table.
