Is there a link on the photozone.de website that lists all of their "Highly Recommended Lenses?"
Not that I know of, but it's a good idea in principle. It would obviously need to be system-specific. The 'Highly Recommended' appellation only goes back a couple of years and many (most?) of the lenses were tested before that. I guess the priority for most visitors here these days is for Klaus and Markus to catch up on lens testing rather than spend time on systems development. A lot of people rely on Photozone's lens tests for their objectivity and analysis. As remarked on by PhotoKhan over at DPR today.

It is also good if we can search for the "star" rating of lenses.

As mentioned in the past and by HarryLarry it is a matter of priorities.
While this is certainly a nice to have I'm a bit wondering about the request from a conceptual perspective.
I reckon it's not like that you filter for the HR lenses and then you just order them randomly.
In the candidate space - say moderate tele or standard zoom lenses, we are only talking about 3-4 lenses within a similar price range (at the very best) per system. Sorting 3-4 candidates doesn't feel like a killer requirement.
I was just wondering about the HR ratings because I am very interested in all camera gear. A link to all HR lenses, or a way of sorting/filtering by stars would make it easier to learn about lenses. True, this isn't a much asked for feature. Thx
