Aug 27, 2021 at 12:50 comment added phoog @MarkJohnson as explained elsewhere, this was not a visa with limited territorial validity. German D visas always say "valid for Germany" (in German, of course). Try an image search for D visas. You won't find any issued after 2010 that mention "Schengen states" in the "valid for" field.
Aug 27, 2021 at 12:38 comment added Mark Johnson This question has nothing to do with an alert, but with the fact it is a visa with limited territorial validity (‘VALID FOR’). Thus the refusal in Austria and Hungary and the requirement to immediately return to Germany. What is not clear is the reason for the restriction. You won't find any special provisions on how the uniform format for visas for the field ‘VALID FOR’ for different visa types is to be filled out. Therefore the meaning is the same.
Aug 27, 2021 at 11:43 comment added phoog @MarkJohnson what makes you think the visa had limited territorial validity? I don't see any provision for D visas with limited territorial validity. Do you?n where is it? On the contrary, I see that the issue of s D visa to someone with an alert in SIS requires the withdrawal of the alert, though the country issuing the alert may continue to maintain it in a national database. On the facts presented in the question, there was no such alert, nor was there likely to have been. The police claimed that the visa was invalid, not that there was an alert. That claim must have been false.
