    First reinstall locale package:

    sudo apt --reinstall install locales

    Open this file: 

    sudo nano /etc/locale.gen

    Find this line: # de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8, uncomment it so it's now: de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8. Save the file and run: 

    sudo locale-gen

    see if you have German now.

  2. If you want German region formats, I think this is a way:

    1. Switch to German language, which will generate a few German locales.
    2. Switch back to English language.
    3. Now you should find some German region options.
