Teachers and all kinds of other child care workers definitely are. If it isn’t done by the church child care is usually organised by the city. Public schools are the norm (only about six percent of students in Germany go to private schools). Munich has 4500 full time teachers for 72000 students. Municipal utilities, public transport and the hospital were all privatised in the 90s, so those aren’t included (about 20,000 employees). Really, to compare the numbers you have to go through them item by item. However, Munich’s number doesn’t seem high compared to US numbers for local government.
