I agree, I would orient myself by the tile height. In our rental apartment, for example, we have about 120cm of tile backsplash (4 rows of 30x60 tiles), which doesn't seem to be that uncommon. (Our current developer also uses this as the standard for most areas.) If you have narrower decorative tiles or a border or something like that somewhere, I would probably adjust accordingly and not say, "But I want exactly xy cm of tile backsplash."
We also have 1.25 m. Exactly above that, the mirror cabinet connects. We find that consistent, i.e. the tile height resulted from the height of the mirror cabinet. That also fits exactly with the height of the toilet pre-wall element. The upper finish is a border.
Thank you all. It really helped me a lot to get an idea for myself and also points that I take away and need to pay attention to.
Especially regarding the tile sizes. We want to lay our desired tile square on the floor. It is available in 80x80. For the wall, we would then have to consider what would be ideal here. (Wollten eigentlich die gleiche Fliese nehmen. Müssen schauen, was es hier noch für Formate gibt)

Don’t forget that it’s not a swimming pool, but an ordinary (rather small to medium-sized) family bathroom. A grout grid of 80 cm edge length is already a heavy hammer that can visually kill a room. At least take the weakest possible grout-tile contrast, otherwise you will ruin your friendship. You don’t do such a large GCD of the room dimensions to your worst enemy. The bigger (and then also square!) the more dominant every interference of the grout rhythms that cannot be continued becomes. In theory, it all looks so easy, but in practice no DIY planner wants to have been that person afterwards. As a beginner, better to tile a garage or utility room first. A bathroom is a room where you start the day – and in this sense, you can very thoroughly “get up on the wrong foot.”
It may sound clichéd... But I would talk to the tiler, they usually have seen/tilled hundreds of bathrooms and often give good advice. Not tiling over the door frame, for example, is nonsense. Why should you only tile a shower niche or behind a radiator up to 2m? It’s always damp there, the additional 50 or 70cm absolutely makes sense...

Because it might look better not to tile all the way up. For example, we have a window next to the shower, so the top edge of the tiles is also the top edge of the window. But like with everything, it’s simply a matter of taste.
