the germans share intelligence with US agencies. you're more likely to have your data given to the US government if your email provider is in germany than you are if they are most other places in europe.
they also keep trying to pass laws to force all tech companies to backdoor encryption in germany. when that happens, your data would be safer literally anywhere else, including currently the US.
That sucks
