Yep it was/is being used in the US. It is great stuff, won't rot, won't burn. Without compelling reason I would not replace it. I have been an asbestos consultant since the 1980's. On the air side asbestos is regulate by the Clean Air Act, Asbestos NESHAP. NESHAP is the national emission standard for hazardous air pollutants. What you have is considered a Catagory 2 nonfriable material. It is exempt. Also exempt are single family dwellings. It remains exempt so long as it is no, grinding, drilling, abrading or excessive smashing. So, to answer your question, so long as you remove it carefully and mimimize breakage it is just regular garbage/construction debris. That is under the federal rules, your state, county and the landfill guy may have different ideas. Transite is actually a brand name, but like Zerox and Klenex it is used to describe all similar products. The US Supreme Court cancelled the Consumer Product Safty Comisssion ban on nonfriable asbestos. So now it is legal to import, sell and install (although you are insane if you do). Don't know about Germany though, they tend to have stricter environmental rules. For example, lead paint was outlawed (sort of)in the US in 1978. In Germany it was in 1847.
