In addition to things mentioned by other users, electricity production is also misleading there because Germany's grid isn't a closed system. It's strongly coupled to the wider european power grid. Germany's international grid connections are so wide that it's not even that abnormal for Germany to import or export more than a third of their total load from neighbouring countries. A better metric would be to look at the total load on the German electrical grid, and if you look at that, you'll see that load has decreased a little over the past couple of years, reflecting the real economic downturn, but the dip is quite small compared to how much electricity generation has decreased. Germany is simply exporting less electricity, and also importing more of it.
