Germany is a European country whose majority religion is Christianity. This page deals with censorship in modern Germany (as West Germany from 1949 to 1990).
Internet censorship
Due to an ongoing dispute between Google and the Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte (GEMA), many YouTube music videos were blocked in Germany until an agreement was reached in 2016.
There is no Google Street View for most parts of Germany as of 2021.
Movies censorship
TV censorship
Books censorship
When the copyright of Adolf Hitler's Nazi manifesto, Mein Kampf, was passed to the Bavarian state government, it refused the republication of Hitler's work before the copyright expired on January 1, 2016.
Video games censorship
Hundreds of violent video games, usually before the 2010s, were censored or even banned due to apparent violations of § 131 StGB. Any video game displaying unconstitutional symbols such as swastikas is also subject to censorship under § 86a StGB.
