The US bases are the one kind of US controlled space in Germany the german government has a right to inspect. Which is why the assumption is that any espionage happens through the embassies (ie. as usual). There's quite some unused space in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - maybe we should just tell the Five-Eyes countries to relocate their embassies there, instead of keeping them right next to the most important political (Berlin) and economical (Frankurt) places of the country.
