German anon with a clarification: Germany has not banned Scientology.

It is not officially recognized as a church here, and there are some groups keeping a very close eye on it (mostly anti-cult representatives in some state governments). The general attitude towards Scientology is more sceptical from both the government as well as from the general uninvolved public, but it has not been banned here and is in fact rather active in a few places.

Of course, Scientology tried to twist that into some sort of "the Germans are going all Nazi again and are trying to persecute uus like they persecuted the Jews during the Third Reich"-kind of publicity spiel. IMO, they are pretty pissed that the German government doesn't just let them do as they want but is in fact watching them.

Here's an interview with Ursula Caberta, one of the prominent German government figures fighting Scientology with Tony Ortega. It contains a clip of what happened when Caberta arrived at a US airport and was greeted by a special Scientology welcome committee. I think that says it all:
