These are publicly traded companies, although they are listed on German exchanges instead of United States exchanges.

Some brokerages will allow you to trade stocks on German exchanges, but you will have to contact you broker to find out the details. I checked one brokerage, E-Trade, which indicated it would allow trading on German exchanges soon.
