I've never seen a nation jail someone for defamation. That's generally a civil matter, where only cash damages are the penalty. Even at that, it's hard to prove defamation in most nations, as what's said must have been maliciously used to cause harm.

It seems that the German courts disregard Article Five of their own constitution. Article 5 [Freedom of expression, arts and sciences] (1) Every person shall have the right freely to express and disseminate his opinions in speech, writing and pictures and to inform himself without hindrance from generally accessible sources. Freedom of the press and freedom of reporting by means of broadcasts and films shall be guaranteed. There shall be no censorship. (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. (3) Arts and sciences, research and teaching shall be free. The freedom of teaching shall not release any person from allegiance to the constitution.
