As far as I know there are laws and convictions in Germany that after a certain timespan offenders have to be released if they do not pose a threat to the public.

How does a terrorist no longer pose a threat to the public. What is to stop him from meeting with his fellow terrorist? Did the German authorities hold his eyes open and make him watch violent films while listening to Beethoven or something?

LOL!

Good joke. Relax - we Germans do not torture our prisoners anymore. Seriously - this is a good question. Probably Hamadi told the staff that he is so sorry for his crimes and that he wants to work as -let's say- a farmer to rebuildt his shaken country (sarcasm). As I already said - I am absolutely not happy about is release but I can't change the justice of my country.
