Looking for foundation base with no leg. The only thing I could find is lattenrost but it’s usually almost flat… Is foundation not a thing here?

Not really a thing here.
People here are brainwashed into buying expensive Lattenrost to adapt to the body. Doesn’t work too well when you have two bodies on one bed.
I built my own out of douglas fir (somewhat expensive at current wood prices), and have a Taschenfedermatratze from Aldi on top.
You can find it e.g. at Ikea: https://www.ikea.com/ch/en/p/espevaer-sprung-mattress-base-with-legs-dark-grey-s09208152/ – usually it’s called a “Boxspring”.
Any reason you’re not going for a Lattenrost? Boxsprings usually come with dedicated mattresses; standard mattresses are supposed to be for a Lattenrost
If you have a Bodenheizung one with legs would be better.
I would highly recommend you to have around 40cm or more air between the mattress and your floor.
The key point is that the humidity below your mattress gets very high during night. And without ventilation, it’s the perfect environment for mushrooms.
It all sounds fun at the beginning, but the reason nobody does it is because too many made very, very ugly discoveries.
Unless you just ventilate your mattress every single morning by placing it in a way that both sides can dry during the day, you will have issues very fast.
Pro-Tip: Go for a “levitating bed”. These have no legs on the corners but two arcs holding the frame! Ideally take one with round edges. You will never ever crash your leg or feet anymore!
I regularly see them on FB marketplace.
A cheap but nice way is to take some epal pallets and cut some so you can assemble them to fit your mattress. Brush them off so they have a smooth finish and you got yourself a bed.
