German ISPs are not covered by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The DCMA is US law. German ISP are covered by German law.

There is no such thing like the DCMA in Germany. Nevertheless notice and takedown is a common practice in Germany as well. A reliable ISP should and will react to an informal takedown notice. The difference is that is not based on a bill like the DCMA but it is backed by multiple german court decisions. That means there's no legitimate claim to takedown content like with the DCMA.
