Среди моего не очень большого круга знакомых немцев никто этим не занимается. Возможно, потому что северная Германия и тут народ сам по себе очень замкнутый.http://www.blogherald.com/2005/06/07/100000-bloggers-in-germany/ [...]

According to this study there are 150,000 weblogs ... â€œStill, 42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot ;-)â€?

I second Mike.

Additionally there are figures about the german speaking blogosphere (not Germany only) to be found at http://blogstats.de/index.php?show=graph

These includes all kind of blogs pinging any service, so this does not include MSN Spaces and Livejournal or AOL.

The graphs from top to bottom:
by bloghoster (which gives you an impression about which kind of bloghosters are counted in),

new blogs per week,

active blogs last 12 months,

count of postings,

average posting per blog in the last 12 months,

posting per hour

Active means pinging some server. They even add blogs if they only ping weblogs.com. ;)

While it is restricted automatically by german speaking tld, it is no problem to be added to their database once you contact them.

http://blogstats.de/index.php?show=top100 is as you can guess the top 100. To be honest, being used to blogstat, I am kind of disappointed by technorati and co. ;)

Of course this does not include the figures of live journal and others, so thanks nonetheless for the number of livejournal users.

(I mailed Mr. Blogstats to add english titles also, so I am kind of sure, he will add something here to ;)

As far as I know:
Since the T-Online package includes the blog features for premium service subscriptions, all of those users (whether they use the blog features or not) are counted in the sum if they use the inclusive basic options already. Furthermore, those who do not rely on T-Online so far will hardly pay up to 3-13 Euro per month if they’d be able to get their own serverspace with an open-source software such as WP or as you mentioned other popular services.

The blogosphere including the popular blog authors definately not use t-online as they’re considered to be one of the most expensive services at present. I have never found a specific and long-run version of a t-online blog ever (nor being shared/quoted in the blogosphere).
