No, it hasn't been released yet. Not even in Germany.
The only way to see the complete mini series is to get it on VHS or Laserdisc.

please provide details..........
I am only aware of US LD release in dubbed, subtitled, and director's cut flavors.
I am talking about the full-length German miniseries (6 + hours) that the various video releases were based on. The US video releases (LD, DVD, and VHS versions) which I have seen are all 2-3 hours in length)
Thanks for your reply.

The full length mini series was released on German PAL Laserdisc, limited to 500 copies only. The sound is (of course) German only.
Then there was also a Japanese NTSC Box set released, sound is German with Japanese subtitles.

file this under: titles I wish Criterion would consider releasing this here in the states [or some German video company with the extra common sense to add english subtitles (ala Gimbli Studios and their Miyasaki films)] .

Criterion doesn't have access to it. The film is owned by Columbia TriStar, and they're not licensing-friendly.
