In the same sense public domain does not exist in Germany, copyright does not exist in Germany either. I've asked multiple times and not yet got a single argument why "I herby place this and that in the public domain" could see any danger to be misunderstood or invalidated by a German court. There are many problems with "public domain", but those are unrelated with Germany. (Like people thinking if it is public domain in the USA because of being written by a government employee or author long enough dead would allow people to use it outside of the USA; or people not claiming something they got as 'freeware' was public domain.).
