While there are some houses blurred out (I believe mostly in wealthy neighbourhoods), Google's Streetview is available in Germany.

When Google was preparing to launch Streetview in Germany, there was a big media hoo-ha about it and they reacted by givng property owners the opportunity to have their house blurred; wealth has nothing to do with it, except that the wealthy are more likely to own the property they live in and pay attention to stuff like this.
