Hi Jochen,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

I did some research online and found this script, that prevents the fonts from Google Maps from loading:
( source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50983518 )

(function($) {
var isGoogleFont = function (element) {
    // google font download
    if (element.href
        && element.href.indexOf('<em><u>hidden link</u></em>') === 0) {
        return true;
    }       
    return false;
}

// we override these methods only for one particular head element
// default methods for other elements are not affected
var head = $('head')[0];

var insertBefore = head.insertBefore;
head.insertBefore = function (newElement, referenceElement) {
    if (!isGoogleFont(newElement)) {
        insertBefore.call(head, newElement, referenceElement);
    }
};

var appendChild = head.appendChild;
head.appendChild = function (textNode) {
    if (!isGoogleFont($(textNode)[0])) {
        appendChild.call(head, textNode);
    }
};
})(jQuery);

It worked on my test website and you can include it in your content template's "JS editor".
