No, the Hamburg court is well known for playing fast and loose with everything copyright or everything personal rights. They create jaw dropping rulings all the time, and quite often are reversed in part or fully by a higher court.

The Oberlandesgericht Hamburg was particular known for a Richter with the name Buske. He was well know for his "interesting" rulings. It went so far that IP/copyright/personal rights/media lawyers coined the term "Buskeismus" (Buskeism). He is retired since about a year, but his spirit seems to still live on especially in Hamburg's courts.
