I think this will be the start of capital controls in the Eurozone:


Now my question is: let's say I am a resident of Germany, and I have a bank account in a NON-Euro country, in the local currency (let's say Georgia, or Armenia, or Egypt, or Switzerland) registered to my address in Berlin, maybe an online bank or even a physical bank.

Let's also say that Germany comes up with something crazy like "borrowing" any sum above 10k euro in any bank account and giving it back in installments over 10 years (something similar to the corralito in Argentina) and because of the digital euro, they just take the money before people can even blink.

My money in the bank in the above countries is safe or not?
