Hallo, mmat1,
The short answer is that I often use WorldCat's "
Advanced Search" capability ...
I will try to show you with some screenshots. The version of WorldCat I have access to is Web-based (and uses an English-language searching interface). AFAIK, it does not have a German-language interface; however, it has one in Spanish, French, Arabic, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (both traditional and with simplified characters).
When you first log in, the default setting is the "
Basic Search":
Directly beside it, there is a hyperlink labelled "
Advanced Search." Click on it to begin selecting criteria for a search with additional qualifiers:
WorldCat -- Advanced Search (step 1)
At this stage, you may select search qualifiers such as Publisher, Place of Publication, Publication Date, Standard Number (this includes the UPC code number of videodiscs and/or music CDs), etc.:
WorldCat -- Advanced Search (step 2)
When you have made all your choices, you will see something like this:
WorldCat -- Advanced Search (final step)
This feature will greatly enhance your searching capabilities.

I did a WorldCat search for you, and it appears that the only OCLC member libraries who own this book (the 2nd edition) at the moment are Harvard and Ohio State University in the US:
Stoltze,
Kraut und Ruben
Holdings (Harvard, Ohio State University)
Harvard's online catalog shows their copy's call number as:
GerL 1052.809.30, and that it may be requested via Regular Loan.
Ohio State's OPAC shows their copy's call number as:
PG 168 .S876 ; it is housed in their Book Depository (which has books that can be circulated / checked out -- according to the website).
I'm guessing that you are probably in Germany, so I don't know if either of these libraries would be willing to do an international library loan ... But it would not do any harm to check with your local library and see if they can be requested from the USA.
I would just like to point out that this does not mean there are no copies available in Germany ... All it means is that there are no German libraries, who also belong to OCLC, who have cataloged this particular book.
I hope this info will be helpful to you. Gruss aus Texas,

P.S.
You might enjoy visiting the "Watch WorldCat Grow" page, which uses an automated script to refresh the display as new records are added to the database. Although only a brief version of the bibliographic records are shown, it's still a fun little tool to watch:
