German Bible translations

There are plenty of different German Bible translation available. You can classify them roughly into two different categories: More word-by-word translations that try to give the exact meaning of the original text and more thought-by-thought translations that try to make the meaning of the text easily understandable. Unfortunately there is no really copyright-free German Bible translation. Only some very old translations are now public domain (Luther 1912, Elberfelder 1905) but they use archaic language and are not suitable for normal reading.
