We don't have any of those standarized charts of accounts yet. All we 
have are the accounts that you get from the account creation wizard 
[druid] which I basically made up by myself. Fortunately those accounts 
roughly fit into the standarized structure, phew.

If you happen to create such a standarized "Kontenrahmen" in GnuCash 
anyway, then we would really appreciate if you could send it to us for 
inclusion in future version. I'm neither an accountant nor I am doing 
business accounting, so I'm glad about any help from german users.
