 What is the "B40" of the German system?

So arguably, the Vandoren B40 or M13 are the "standard issue" mouthpieces that most teachers have been recommending to their students and many stick with them for years and for a good reason.
Even if the above statement is not 100% true, and now we have affordable decent options, my question is not so much about the French system.

Is there a "mainstream agreed upon" German mouthpiece that say most students start or switch to and stay with through university until they venture to more niche offerings?
What would be the Viennese cousin of that mouthpiece?

Vandoren makes a/or a few German mouthpieces that are pretty decent and more affordable than those made in Germany. I seem to recall Karl Leister was their tester: not a bad reference!
