Yes. In the US, a gap of about 3/4 inch from a finished floor is normal. It acts as air return when the door is closed. I know in some other countries they put a hole in the wall above the door for this purpose, usually making it look decorative.
Ahem. In Germany we have neither. I'm sure there are hidden secrets in modern buildings, but not in the usual apartments.
Why is there even a door at this point? The whole point of a door is visual, sonic, heat and smell isolation, there's barely any point if you have a 2cm gap below the door.
