Do you actually have these three different kinds of markings for paths
in Germany?

To me, the first two are almost the same.

They often are “designed for” as well as designated.  Typically when
building a route which will be marked for bicycles, you take that into
account with the road design.

Is that the same as “bestimmen”, then? (aside from the translation
always being the same)

How do you get to or from the route, if you must only use this one...?
(kidding)

Isn't this covered by access=official?  It's only other use, to mark a
road which is only usable by a few types of transport, is the same as
(e.g.) bicycle=designated+access=no
