Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_Germany

Parties, plural. A better question would be who isn't spying. I live in Berlin. The Chinese, Russians, North Koreans, US, UK, Iranians, etc. all have big embassies here and there is a lot of diplomatic traffic and it of course features frequently in popular fiction on espionage. Also, there are lots of political refugees from all over the world living in Berlin. E.g. Ai Weiwei lives somewhere in my area and I've seen him on the street a couple of times. I live a kilometer away from the HQ of the German secret service.

I have no illusions about Cloudflare. However, unlike my ISP they are big, pretty competent, generally under a lot of scrutiny, and have a very big incentive to not get caught with their pants down contradicting what they say they do in their contracts, terms of use, etc. Not exactly ironclad, I know, but definitely a step up from O2's combination of indifference, incompetence and tendencies towards actively not caring one bit about their users privacy.
