FLYERTALK FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!

I used that link to send an inquiry to the Bunespolizei, and received a response in 37 minutes. With an apology for the delay. Clearly the Bundespolizei are cut from different stuff than the KVR.

Here is what they said:
ihre Anfrage an die Bundespolizei habe ich erhalten. Ich bitte zunächst den zeitlichen Verzug aufgrund des hohen Aufkommens an Anfragen zu entschuldigen. Bitte beachten Sie auch, dass wir aus Kapazitätsgründen nicht mehr jede Frage/Rückfrage individuell beantworten können.
Trotz Kündigung der Sichtvermerkabkommens mit den USA wollte man für amerikanische Staatsangehörige keine aufenthaltsrechtliche Schlechterstellung, trotz Streichung aus § 16 AufenthV.

Deshalb wird § 41 AufenthV (in dem die USA noch enthalten sind) so ausgelegt, dass ebenfalls bei jeder Einreise bis zu 90 Tage visumfreier Aufenthalt möglich sind (neben der Möglichkeit der visumfreien Einreise bei längerfristiger Aufenthaltsabsicht.)
Google translated:

​​​I have received your request to the federal police. First of all, I would like to apologize for the delay due to the high volume of inquiries. Please also note that for capacity reasons we can no longer answer every question/enquiry individually.
Despite the termination of the visa agreement with the USA, American nationals were not to be placed in a worse position in terms of residence law, despite the deletion from Section 16 of the Residence Ordinance.

Therefore, § 41 AufenthV (which still includes the USA) is interpreted in such a way that a visa-free stay of up to 90 days is also possible with each entry (in addition to the possibility of visa-free entry for longer-term stay intentions).​​​​
(§ 16 lists those countries which, on account of bilateral agreements that pre-exist Schengen, "are exempt from the requirement of a residence permit for entry and residence in federal territory, even if the time limit of a short stay is exceeded.")

Oliver, we are in Munich for the rest of the year. Can I buy you a beer when we get back!?
