Not by German typesetting rules, that's the point.

The similarity is that the rule you just states is not good for
German.  In German, ligatures are placed depending on the morphemic
structure or a word.  Just like long s.

BTW, 'morpheme boundary' was not the right thing.  Round s is placed
at ends of each part of a compounds, but not before inflectional
morpheme boundaries.  At the same locations, ligatures are not used in
German.
