I wouldn't run a Tor exit at home, especially in Bavaria. The upstream is not worth it (unless you have fiber), and the hassle can be considerable. I recommend renting a root server or putting up your own hardware in a colo -- or, better, donate it to Torservers/Zwiebelfreunde e.V. so that they can pay people to run servers in sparsely covered areas of the world, e.g. Asia.
experience with running a Tor-Relay in Germany( Bavaria)?
A Tor relay is a non-exit, and completely unproblematic but for potential traffic issues.
Are there known cases of police raids? Is there a list of lawyers which work with the torproject which should be called in case of a raid? Has anyone had sucsess with talking to the police prior to setting up the exit-node? If so, to which departmed did you talk to?
I've had a couple contacts with the local police when running an exit at home, where I came in with printouts of Tor exits which listed my node's IP, and explained how Tor worked using online description like https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en
You should contact http://www.zwiebelfreunde.de/ and CCC, imo.
