This is what I was thinking too. Why was it banned? It's not like there was anything too questionable in the game.

Isn't Germany one of the worst country in the world about violence in video games, surely with Australia?

Yes, but I don't remember there being too graphic violence. There wasn't even much blood IIRC!

Ok, so Red Faction was considered "harmful to Germany's youth". Cough. I came across this gaf thread, which is quite old (2010), but the list of banned games is staggering. I had no idea videogame censorship was so out of control there. Again, it's old, but it should give you and idea of how bad shit is in Duetschland. Fallout 3?! WTF?!

You obviously never played Fallout 3. You can shoot off all limbs and the head as well. A critical hit in the head will also cause it to explode with eyes popping out and everything. It's easily one of the goriest games out there.

The GAF OP labeled the games in the list as "Cannot be sold to people under 18, no advertising, no displaying in stores" and that is completely right. You referred to them as banned, but they aren't. Retailers are allowed to sell them and everyone 18 or up is allowed to buy them. There are a few exceptions such as the games listed in the much smaller "banned" category. Those are still allowed to be owned though.

Ah, yes, as i often do, I made that post in haste. To be fairm he ALSO said in the op "so heres the list of banned games in Germany" My bad for not taking a better look. But yes, I have played Fallout 3. It's the game that put Besthseda on my permaban list, and made me loath them with the fury of 1000 suns.
