I assumed that the German Empire and its paraphernalia would be verboten in the mindset of Germans.

Kaiserreich nostalgia seems to be at least tolerated amongt right-wingers like DDR nostalgia is in the far left. Although at least some symbols of the German Empire (such as the Black-Red-White flag) are used by Nazis to circumvent bans on swastikas.

But honestly I don't see any stigma attached to artefacts from that era. Many of our most important streets and monuments are dedicated to key monarchists, with only minimal controversy.

Kamnenos said he's had enough, and other Athens sources call the draft humiliating and disastrous.

Even German media - in this case Spiegel Online - calls the Eurogroup's proposal a "deliberate   humiliation of Greece", designed to make an agreement with the Greek government impossible.

Glad to see the German media is finally calling out this insanity, instead of encouraging it.

Are you hurting a little bit?

Is it asking too much of the Germans that they try to educate themselves about the economic and social ramifications of their policy? Or better yet, is it asking too much of the German media that they stop feeding their viewers/readers with jingoistic propaganda, and start documenting what's actually going on in Greece?

Nobody in Germany cares about what your opinion is. But I like it when you're butthurt so please continue.
