A German thing 

A German thing is something that is complicated in a way that doesn't make sense. And When Germans start it explaining, you get lost because they are talking something in a way that they believe it's smart and clever you need just to think hard to grasp it but in reality they are just shitting around.

There are synonyms, too:
German thing = Beurocracy,
German thing = "Scientific" paper writing to get funds
German thing = online meetings, at least 5 meetings per day, when no one really knows why they do that
German thing = no one's responsibility

A German thing can be generalized and can be used to describe unclear/don't get your head around thing

Stay away from being caught in it, mate, pretty shitty thing!

- So PIM administrator can do everything, right?
- No, not by default, but it can be used to gain wide access, depending on how it's configured.
- How's that?
- They can elevate or assign users (including themselves) into high-level roles that could give access to everything, if not restricted.
- "if not restricted"?!
- ...
- So, that's a German thing.
- Yes!

I’m in Love With a German Film Star 

I'm in love with a German film star
I once saw in a bar
Sitting in a corner in imperfect clothes
Trying not to pose
For the cameras and the girls
It's a glamorous world
I'm in love with a German film star
I once saw in a movie
Playing the part of a real troublemaker
But I didn't care
It really moved me, it really moved me
