Goes back to the Weimar Republic. Back then it was books that were banned. Germany back then was what you'd call reactionary. The tradition was kept during the NS reign and made its way into the BRD. When TV and video games became available the BPjM expanded its responsibilities. And with always reactionary old man on top...
Also, the media shifting the blame for all shooting rampages in Germany (notably Erfurt 2003 and Winnenden 2009) to video games didn't help either...
