Does this mean that printed collections of quotes, like the equivalent of the English world's ubiquitous _Bartlett's Book of Quotations_, are not commonly available in German bookstores?
Answering my own question, it appears that such books of quotations *are* readily available in Germany. Amazon.de, for example, sells all the standard English-language books of quotations, from the _Oxford Concise Dictionary of Quotations_ to the _Random House Webster's Quotationary_, and most of them include unlicensed quotations from 20th-century figures like Einstein.
See: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/11902/ref=br_dp_bl_2/028-002433...
Since these publishers haven't been prohibited from selling their books in Germany, it seems that whatever prohibitions might exist aren't being enforced.
