I have what i believe is a German made toilet bowl. At the back just above the pan outlet is a small round hole (obviously created when manufactured). What is this for and why doesn't water come out when you flush?
 
It might be an overflow into the pan from the cistern, push the ball valve down and see what happens

Can't be that. The hole is on the outside of the bowl.
 
Often there are various holes around the outside pan to ventilate it as it is fired, it cant be a closed piece of pot, usually theyre round the back, maybe yours is just on show. Any pics

To vent during firing, all good

I'd be more worried about that clear gloop someone's used, shouldn't be needed

In ideal conditions I agree the gloop should not be needed. However any attempt to move the toilet pan without destroying the floor or breaking the pan to fix a leak has not been possible.
