Actually GEMA takes a percentage from the big pop musicians to help fund the contemporary/avantgarde composers who would otherwise earn a lot less. There are plenty of things to complain about with GEMA but I think for the most part they do a lot to support smaller, more obscure genres. (I ran a publishing company for contemporary music in Germany for ten years, so I had a lot to do with GEMA)
It depended on many factors like the size of the venue, length and instrumentation of the piece, also the genre. I can’t give you an amount in € off the top of my head how much I earned lol.

Good for you. Doesn’t hold true for the others. Besides the problem that it’s too less what they pay out.
How much money did you get from GEMA?

If you don’t know how much GEMA gave you, it can’t be noteworthy.
Better scrape it. But wait, you can’t leave. Any resemblance to mafia?
Why would I memorize financial information from a company I left years ago just to share it with random strangers on the internet?
