The larger fines are starting to trickle through[0], remember EU bureaucracy is usually less about flashy cases than US and more of giving people the tools to do the right thing.

It's 350 cases in two years in an economic zone of 450m people though.
350 publicized cases, most cases are too small for the public to take note of.

This website contains a list and overview of fines and penalties which data protection authorities within the EU have imposed under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, DSGVO). Our aim is to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. Since not all fines are made public, this list can of course never be complete, which is why we appreciate any indication of further GDPR fines and penalties.

I just read a bit on that site:

What a PATHETIC thing this GDPR is. Fully agree that we should admit that GDPR is a massive failure (who would have thought!)

Greetings from a European.
