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.

Since these publishers haven't been prohibited from selling their books 
in Germany, it seems that whatever prohibitions might exist aren't being 
enforced.
