The most relevant law for Tor routers in Germany (or owned by Germans)
is the Telemediengesetz (telemedia law), specifically

§15: clearly prohibits to keep any user identifiable and usage data
unless required for billing purposes
http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/tmg/__15.html

§8: equivalent to DMCA 512; there is no liability for services that (a)
do not initiate the the transfer (b) does not select the recipient and
(c) does not select or alter the content.
http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/tmg/__8.html

It would be nice to at least list those paragraphs in a section for
Germany, and equally collect similar laws for other countries. You don't
need a lawyer to locate such laws.
