Ask your current reseller.  See below.  You can also find out from
DENIC I'm sure.

If you would really like to get something done about this, you could
go to your reseller and ask them to make a joint report to the
regulator.  The content of the report will be that the reseller worked
very hard with you to resolve the problem and you're happy with that,
but that both of you are worried about other customers who may have
less conscientious registrars, and whether it is fair to the
conscientious registrars to leave the rules and rights of domain
owners ambiguous.  Something like that.  I don't know how German
companies feel about regulators, but if you put it that way they get a
good report from an activist consumer ... they can' be too
unhappy. :-)

This could involve a fair amount of effort (emails, phone calls to the
regulator, etc) though.
