Germany does NOT have freedom of "speech". It has freedom of OPNION and expression.
Freedom of speech, like it exists in the US is called "Redefreiheit", but Germany has "Meinungsfreiheit", which is not the same. Redefreiheit means you can say anything you want. This is not the case in Germany. Meinungsfreiheit means, you can think whatever you want, but not say whatever you want.
Even in the article of the Grundgesetz you listed, it's stated:
> (2) These rights shall find their limits in the provisions of general laws, in provisions for the protection of young persons and in the right to personal honour.
Or in other words: your freedom of expression ends, when you're expressing something that is deemed illegal by the law.

on the other hand, in germany unlike the US, even private entities can not limit your freedom of expression as long as it is legal (and not disruptive).
