I could be completely wrong, but it doesn't strike me as a German place. I noticed lots of braised meets and pasta dishes in most pictures online, but nothing ever suggested a German angle. Perhaps you're thinking of some other place with a similar name?

LonelyPlanet mentions sausage and cabbage so I guess I can see some influence, but they also highlight seasonal pastas like tagliatelle with local artichokes, so it doesn't sound like a purely German restaurant:
