The Schleswig-Holstein data protection authority lost a case against Facebook in 2013 because the court ruled that Germany didn't have jurisdiction. However, the Google Spain case last year changed that pretty decisively. It's difficult to see (after Google lost before the CJEU) why Germany should not have jurisdiction in this case.
