Of music, movies, comics, for the most part. A big problem is that lawyers have, as elsewhere in the world, way too much power.
The aforementioned U-Comix died like this: A right-wing lawyer set the police in motion, to bust comic stores and bookshops all over germany, in search for comics which were on a list he gave to them. "Mouse" by Art Spiegelman was on that list, for example, because it has a swastika on the cover and is therefore nazi-propaganda. About 80-90% was just as ridiculous. Now, the problem was not that this lawyer had a chance to win his bullshit case (He lost on all levels, in every single case), but that so much time passed in which U-Comix could not sell a great part of their repertoire (also they lost a lot of the bookshops, as these became afraid after the police raids), so that they went bankcrupt. Not a direct form of censorship, but a clever one.
The Christa Jenal (You remember, the conservative feminist) case against metal and other forms of underground music is a different one - that is just the usual form of censorship. She applies to one of the censorship offices (FSK, BPJM) and they often follow.
Never seen that practice elsewhere.
poor little white boys got their privilege cut off. Cry me a fucking river.
