My description was not correct. There are 210k works, but not all if them are in the Public Domain:

"Here you will find high-quality digitized copies of books, manuscripts and other media from the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin. Where the originals are in the public domain, we provide them with a public domain license. Currently there are 209,779 works in total."

No, the German clearly states the 210k works as the number of those being in the public domain.
