IANAL but it is very likely that the guy is right, assuming we apply German law. Having the permission taking a picture surely does not imply a permission for showing the image in any media. Also the work is not yet public domain - for this we would have to wait until October 2008 (70 years after the creators death).
Actually, a few months longer - things do not come in the public domain 70 years after the author's death, but on the end of the year in which this day falls. See Urheberrechtsgesetz paragraph 69:
"Die Fristen dieses Abschnitts beginnen mit dem Ablauf des Kalenderjahres, in dem das für den Beginn der Frist maßgebende Ereignis eingetreten ist."
