Difficult question, and don't forget Austria and Switzerland who also have German speakers. The only thing which seems sure is that KDE is far more popular than Gnome in Germany. There was a survey among 10.000 visitors of "heise-online" last year (http://www.heise.de/ct/01/17/186/) where 85% stated they use Linux on the desktop. 74% use SuSE and 10% Mandrake which both have KDE as default desktop. So if you assume that the majority use the default desktop and you would know the sales numbers of both distributions you could estimate how many are there at least.
