Have you tried the KindleUnpack Calibre plugin?
It typically takes less than a minute to unpack a .mobi dictionary. Unfortunately, the plugin can't reverse-engineer the inflections of all dictionaries. The Duden is one of those books. Try unpacking one of the bilingual Oxford dictionaries instead.

You'll have to define inflections for each entry. Here's an example from the Kindle Publishing Guidelines.

Code:
<idx:entry name="english" scriptable="yes" spell="yes">
    <idx:short><a id="1"></a>
        <idx:orth value="aardvark">
            <b>aard•vark</b>
            <idx:infl>
                <idx:iform value="aardvarks"></idx:iform>
                <idx:iform value="aardvark’s"></idx:iform>
                <idx:iform value="aardvarks’"></idx:iform>
            </idx:infl>
        </idx:orth>
        <p> A nocturnal burrowing mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa that feeds exclusively on ants and termites.</p>
    </idx:short>
</idx:entry>
