Car lifts at full turn

is it normal that the front end of the car rises on one side when the wheel is completely turned in one direction?

Yes. On a Mercedes the steering system both turns and tilts the wheels. The tilt causes the raise.

That's how you can park in those tight spaces, and it also helps the tire maintain good contact in tighter turns with more lateral force.
