I don't know. Can you not make jokes about the chancellor in Germany?

  Sure .. just not jokes about how tall they are with a punchline that involves raising an arm to demonstrate.

  Insulting people is a crime in Germany. If you said "Hitler was a poopy head" that'd be illegal. But they wouldn't bother to enforce that. If you say it about a real person, they can press charges.

    fyi: insult is a so called "Antragsdelikt". That means authorities can only press charges when the victim files an official complaint. Otherwise they can't do anything. Which also means they wouldn't be able to do anything about you saying "Hitler was a poopy head".

    Does defamation laws apply to deceased too?
    • inigyou 3mo ago
      There's a separate law against insulting a dead person.
