I don't know the "law" in Germany but I can say that is not what I witnessed in the few times I have driven the Autobahn. In fact, it might even be illegal to go around others that are in the left lane, not sure of that though. I was in the scenario of having people move over to the lane to the right of them as well as being one to move to the right when I saw someone speeding up to me in the left lane.
One thing I really liked about driving in Germany is the general competence of drivers. Guaranteed that if we had a roadway like the Autobahn here in the US, there would be fatalities left and right! No way would it work here.
