The loser of a lawsuit always has to cover the cost of the lawsuit, including the other party's lawyer fees (except in cases where the state attorney sues and a bunch of other exceptions like when an employee starts a labor dispute). They are very much capped based on the disputed sum though. The higher the dispute, the higher the attorney fees you have to pay when losing.
For example, if the disputed sum is 5000€ the base lawyer fees are ~390€. It can then be multiplied by some factor - I think 2.5 is the maximum but I'm unsure - depending on the length and difficulty of the case.
They aren't a punishment but rather a consequence of losing a lawsuit.
They are also usually covered by your legal protection insurance which is generally recommended to have.
