This is based on §140 of the German Strafgesetzbuch which concerns rewarding or publicly condoning criminal acts. We will see if this interpretation is upheld by the courts. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think it's obvious that this would be upheld. This might also require additional aggravating factors to be illegal, the pagraph specifically mentions that this has to happen in a way likely to disturb the public peace. The laws around freedom of speech are also obviously different than in the US, e.g. Nazi symbols are specifically outlawed.
