Yes, this happened but the Muslim community has reacted with outrage at this.
I don't know what this judge was trying to prove. German law is not Koranic law and most progressive Muslims agree that the verse that is typically said to "endorse" wife-beating has been misintrepretted.
You could find passages in the Bible that say wife beating is acceptable (and many have and continue to do so).

So I really don't understand your point.
