and what happens, if the authorities find out...
imagine ..some border police guy makes a spot check with your canceled hotel, because he does not like your face or feels something is wrong..then you risk to be send back...
But:
Check with the Austrian Embassy, if you can apply at the German Consulate for Austria. Sometimes they allow that if in your area there is no Austrian Embassy.
I agree with most of what you write, but a "border police guy" at MUC calling the hotel, etc., well, the chances for that happening are clearly lower that winning the first prize at any lottery. Such a scenario certainly should not be OP's worry.
