The conspiracy part of it is that you're fundamentally misunderstanding German society. Exporting to European countries (and the world) is great for shareholders and they've made a lot of money. It's not so much so for the average worker, and they aren't earning a lot more in real money. The jobs are in the cities, the rents are rising very quickly, the taxes are high and there's very little individual wealth for the middle class. There's no "economic boom" that would enable large parts of the German society to live comfortably, and it may come as a surprise, but trickle-down isn't working in Germany either.
