It's crazy how this is almost perfectly readable as a Dutch person.

Without being very familiar with any of them, I suspect Low German and Dutch are pretty closely related?

Very close, and I can confirm that as someone who knows "standard Dutch" it is fairly easy to read.

It wouldn't surprise me if it is even easier for someone from the german-dutch border region who is fluent in a local dialect.

Right? I'm fluent in Dutch but I can't read German. This is more readable than Afrikaans.
