The court ruled that the hotel was correct in refusing to divulge the man's personal details under Germany's Federal Data Protection Act.

Since the woman could not describe the man in detail, it was impossible for the hotel to identify just one man, the court ruled.

Judges said the man has the right to control his own personal data, along with the right to protect his family and marriage, according to the statement. Those rights took precedence over her right to child maintenance payments, the court added.

I found the bolded part interesting, since child support is a big issue among certain circles.

Dont bang people you dont know.

It's definitely time to start evaluating the choices you make if the only way you can identify a person you slept with is a hotel registry.

For completion:

She knew the guy's first name: Michael. The problem is, there were 4 Michaels staying at the time. The ruling was based on their right to privacy.

Saw this story earlier today but the real story and not this version that's a total fabrication. The man was a paid escort and the woman didn't even know his name or even what he looked like.

The hotel where they spent three nights in 2010, in the city of Halle, does not have to tell her the man's name, a court in Munich ruled.
The man's right to privacy outweighed the woman's claim for child support payments from him, the ruling said.
She knew him as "Michael" but three other Michaels were also at the hotel.
Each of the four Michaels had a right to "control their own data and protect their own marriage and family", the ruling said.
The case was heard at the Munich District Court because the hotel chain is based in the Bavarian city. Halle is in eastern Germany.
The woman - not named in the case - said she had got pregnant after staying with "Michael" in a room on the second floor. She now has a seven-year-old son called Joel.
The court decided that her lack of detail about the man raised the risk of personal data "simply being released at random".
"Nor is it certain that the Christian name is indeed the name of the man in question," the court said.
German privacy laws are among the strictest in Europe. It is partly a legacy of history - under the Nazis, then later under the communist East German regime, there was intrusive mass surveillance, with grievous human rights abuses.
The Munich Appeal Court backed the verdict and decided not to review the case, a court spokeswoman told the BBC.
The case is now closed, in terms of German civil law, she added.

Yeah but your source never pointed out the man was an escort being paid to have sex with her... Pretty big omission.

Omission =/= "complete fabrication"
