What's the status of works by Heinrich Mann, who seems to have died in 1950? Shouldn't those have entered the public domain in Germany on Jan 1, 2021? If so, will PG be making those works available to German users?


The message displayed when you try to access a blocked work https://block.pglaf.org/germany.shtml states:

The block applies to seven books by author Thomas Mann (until January 1, 2026) and five books by author Alfred Döblin (until January 1, 2028). No other Project Gutenberg eBooks, by any author, are blocked in Germany.

I can confirm that works by Heinrich Mann are accessible.
