We repeat this procedure for German texts, using Scepter und Hammer by Karl May from the web page of the Karl-May-Gesellschaft. Here is the clean text. We take the first 2000 text pairs. Here is the spreadsheet.

The results are in the following figure and table.

To get coincidence indices divide x-values in the graphic by 100.
