I'm glad better information was available.
    Somewhere, I have a link to what seems to be a reliable list of the German numbers; I'll post it as soon as I find it.
    Edit:
    CPG Berlin:
    up to 5,000 -- up to 1891
    30,000 -- 1896
    100,000 -- 1900
    200,000 -- 1908
    300,000 -- 1915
    400,000 -- 1920
    500,000 -- 1922
    600,000 -- 1923
    750,000 -- 1926
