Uncle Sam gives itself the right to shoot down any drone, anywhere, any time, any how

Re: Inevitable

In Germany, you can fly drones at model aircraft airfields or over open fields.

You cannot use it in towns or cities, over industrial areas or over residential areas. I believe forests are also limited.

The bigger ones have to be registered.

You cannot upload any footage taken with the drone online, if there are identifiable people on it (faces, vehicle registration numbers, signage etc.), without first getting a waiver - but that applies to all photography and videography in Germany. There are exceptions, if you are filming one person and another walks across the background, for example, although you would do well to blur them out, before uploading.
