Nothing unusual? I had a house search because of exits but never a user data 
request because of entry nodes.

As a German organization, you must fully comply with Telekommunikation-
Telemedien-Datenschutz-Gesetz §9 (the German telemedia data protection law), 
which prohibits to log any personally identifiable data or usage data unless 
required for billing purposes. As you do not charge for using your services, 
you will never be able to keep any connection data. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tor routers owned by German media services are protected by Telemediengesetz 
§8
