In English this is usually translated as "moral rights"[1]. They are fairly widespread in other civil law jurisdictions than Germany too. Less so in common law jurisdictions.

But they exist to a (very) limited extent even in the US.

Which is one of the reasons public domain is problematic in some jurisdictions because it requires you to waive rights you can't necessarily waive.

Yes, Louisiana somewhat notwithstanding, the US is basically common law like the UK (and much of the Anglosphere/Commonwealth).
