Unfortunately, lots of people on the Internet are in serious breach 
of copyright.  My knowledge of German is very limited, so I can't work 
out from their site how to use it.

Not making money is also no defense against copyright infringement,
although it can limit damages if someone did sue.

I don't know if Germany has a central office of visual copyrights.  
In Britain, for sound (music etc.) there's a central office who know 
everything (or it seems so anyway) about who owns which copyrights.
You could try asking at a classical art gallery or the visual art 
department of a university, they might have better information.
