There is a supermarket (ALDI) where you can buy sim cards: http://www.alditalk.de/ I didn't find out yet if you need a german bank account and if you can reload it in the shop.

it may have been a data only plan that didn't spell out the funding bits on the small card it was sold on.

ALDI, LIDL, Edeka, Penny and Tschibo are the shops you can buy sim cards in, I think.

tschibo doesn't have many locations and isn't great. But for some reason my mom still uses that for prepaid (doesn't use data though)
2013-09-18 26152, 2013

blau.de is probably the one with the most places you can get it from and quite big

It isn't easy to get good information from telephone companies at all, especially not something in english, which is a shame.

you can recharge and get blau.de cards at: Aral (gas station), Media Markt (electronics super market), Saturn (also electronics) Netto, Real (both super markets), Rossmann (drug store/super market)

NOTE: Loading replication changes might take a long time. If the VM is more than a couple of weeks old, it might be better for you to import a fresh data set. Drop pre-filled database using command

yes

glooop
1. Downloaded latest VM image
2013-09-18 26148, 2013
glooop
2. Downloaded latest data set
2013-09-18 26159, 2013
