1. The german language page is actually targeting Liechtenstein, not Germany. 2. Similar projects are not the actual project in question. 3. ICANN is not a governmental agency; filing for a particular TLD is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for belonging to a particular country's jurisdiction. Being named after a 15th century German is not an argument worthy of response. 4. Popularity in a country is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for that country to have jurisdiction over an organization.
