It was discussed earlier.

In your particular case it is possible to use "%2C" instead of comma:

     /Link 
[[https://km-bw.de/%2CLde/startseite/service/kontakt][kontakt]] link/

As a more general approach, additional emphasis marks can be added 
around link borders

     /Test/ [[https://orgmode.org/?q=query][/query/]] /test/

While I believe that during parsing of link target lookup for end of 
emphasis should be suppressed, I am not sure that it is feasible with 
current implementation. That is why I consider such behavior as a price 
for lightweight markup and its current parser.
