Symfony with buggy routing on apache - symfony

Question

I installed Symfony on a fresh Debian 9 server.
I created a project:
composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton symfony
(masch3 is the name of my development machine)
When opening http://masch3/symfony/public/
I get the well known Symfony welcome page.
When I create the most simple Controller named "home"
class HomeController extends AbstractController
{
#[Route('/home', name: 'home')]
public function index(): Response
{
return $this->render('home/index.html.twig', [
'controller_name' => 'HomeController',
]);
}
}
http://masch3/symfony/public/home -> 404 not found
http://masch3/symfony/public/index.php/home -> OK
As recommended in other answers, I installed Apache pack with
composer require symfony/apache-pack
But this still does not do.

Edit the main Apache config file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
look for this section:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
Replace AllowOverride None with AllowOverride All
Activate apache’s rewrite module.
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Go to your Symfony project's folder and install Apache pack
cd /var/www/html/symfony
composer require symfony/apache-pack
Now:
http://masch3/symfony/public/home -> ok
