Can A German Business Refuse Cash (Bargeld)?

 I saw where this came up today....in legal chatter here in Germany.

So the law is....whatever is put up for sale....from cars to underwear....has to be in Euro.

However, a business can say that it will only deal with credit cards or bank cards.....instead of cash.

Finding such a place?  I can't think of any place where I've been in the past five years....where credits were 'it'.  

I've been in twenty-odd bakeries or small shops....where they were blunt....ONLY cash, no card machines.  But every year, it gets to be more rare that cash only situations occur.
