Yes - there is a law in Germany. And yes - it is illegal to publish pictures of strangers that don't expressly agree. There are a few exceptions though. Here's the Wikipedia link:

AFAIK, Germany has stricter privacy laws than the UK, but not a strong as those in France.
Both are aimed at paps taking intrusive pictures of celebrities.

Ha ha ha, doesn't the international nature of the Internet complicate local laws...

I have hundreds of pictures of french strangers that I've posted here to flickr. I wonder if that makes me an "el queeda terrorist".
Heck, if I got rid of all my paris pictures that prominently feature strangers I don't think I'd have very many left.
here are some of my favorite crimes:
the stink eye on the metro

Some of my images are of people..close up on the street in the U.K. If you are on public land you are generally o.k. That is unless the person wants to challenge you and then interesting conversations happen! I have taken images in Paris BUT it isn't allowed unless you ask their permission first!!! If you are interested go to my site www.chocolatelifeandjazz.blogspot.com and take a look at the CCTV blogs and anything else that interests you. Enjoy!

It may not be legal to take that picture:
Be careful what you photograph -- some pictures may land you in jail:
