I suggest therefore a metadata source plugin for the German National Library (if that is feasible and allowed).
http://dnb.d-nb.de/ or http://www.dnb.de/EN/Home/home_node.html

I think the German National Library is cataloguing *all* published German books and the quality of ther metadata is excellent.
Did you check the list of optional metadata source plugins, IIRC there are one or two for German sites, but I can't attest to their 'quality'.
