I think your link is slightly misrepresenting the situation as it surveyed parents with kids <3 and <6. In terms of early parental leave (ie. the time covered by Elterngeld), I would think the percentage of men taking time is much higher. At least anecdotally, many of the fathers I've talked to take the 2 months at the very minimum.
