"Paragraph 11" or §11

As most of us know the University of Heidelberg, Baden's beer code begins with Paragraph 11 (supposedly because 1 - 10 are reserved for the 10 Commandments). Is the § sign in German the sign for paragraph? Because that sign in our English grammer today means "Section". Or is that just the way it translates from German to English? Just curious - either way "Keep on Drinking"!
