Even in Germany there are very few left with knobs... I think a price comparison listed like 10 models... Miele had/has some... Then there is neff with a "puck" thingy, somewhere in the middle and then some high priced stuff...

[1] actually lists a few more, was looking for something bigger than 60cm (23inch??) wide.

Those are standalone induction cooktops. It's common to install a cooktop on top of an oven by the same manufacturer. In that category, there are still many devices (from many manufactures, low and high end) with rotating knobs, integrated into the oven component.

well, maybe was common, with a bit of money and a new kitchen I would guess it is more common to separate the two entities and not have the oven on the floor... also very neat for the dishwasher if you have the space :-)

No, I think they are common and will be common for the foreseeable future even for most new construction, but I can't be bothered to find any references, which are unlikely to be publicly available anyway.

If you select "EU" from the flag drop-down on the top left, you get an English version of the page (seems to be properly translated).

Should be more useful for sharing with a primarily-non-German audience. (The site itself is awesome, though; a very effective parametric price comparison site made by people that actually understand technology and know how important details are. It's owned by the publisher behind "c't", the big European/German non-tabloid computer magazine.)
