ᐅ General Contractor in the Munich Area or Prefabricated House?

Hello everyone,
Thank you for welcoming me to the housebuilding forum.
My partner and I would like to build a single-family home in the Bauhaus style near Munich. Since we want a high proportion of glass surfaces as well as large rooms on the ground floor with a ceiling height of 3.50 m (11.5 ft), we don’t fit the standard offerings of prefab home suppliers. None of their predefined floor plans suit us. But of course, according to the sales representatives, they can also build custom designs.
We are just a bit concerned that the costs could get out of control since prefab home companies benefit from economies of scale. Also, with our ceiling height, we cannot use standard windows, sliding doors, interior doors, blinds, etc.
This raises the question of whether it might be better to build with a general contractor using traditional construction methods.
However, general contractors in the Munich area have such poor reviews. I have read here in the forum that it only makes sense to work with a general contractor if they are located near the building site. Do you have any advice or can you recommend a general contractor?
Thank you very much for your tips.

@ypg there is surely a 2 or 3 in front of the wishes and in the Munich area.But surely not seven figures? Incredible! I’d much rather have my small house up north. I don’t think @Julie87 is aware of that, otherwise her considerations and concerns would be completely irrelevant, since costs would be at the level of postage fees, which are not up for debate.
Just like @rick2018 is currently building, it seems that @Julie87 has similar plans, judging by the brief introduction.
The floor-to-ceiling height, the windows are expensive and will probably hardly be combined with €15 (about $16) DIY store tiles.
Then there is the plot of land, which hopefully allows for the desired plans.

But not 7-figures, right? Of course... just check Immoscout for the Munich district, houses starting from 1.5 million and see how many there are...
Best example of a Bauhaus villa:
Property no.: 19225002 | Scout-ID: 110879458
4.5 million for a 340 m² (3,660 sq ft) house on an 813 m² (8,750 sq ft) plot in Gräfelfing.
No, in Gräfelfing people have always tended to be a bit more arrogant, at least in my experience with the Gräfelfing residents I personally know.
PS The "highlight" of the house is that there isn’t even space for a guest room; they end up being pushed into the basement. With a spa and wine cellar, though, but well.
And yes, I know, this is an extreme example. Most people don’t build so extravagantly.
