Depending on how the EU localization was done by the publisher there, it may be as easy as using the English strings file. I believe there's a registry entry that points to which file to use.

The String file should be included in the mod tools reference data, so you can play around with it. The easiest would be to just rename the English.str into whatever the German one is called.

Or, perhaps, there's an in-game option to do so, but I wouldn't know. I'm not big into IT, but I've been learning German for over 5 years and I'm fairly fluent at it now.

Well, where-ever you end up looking, try looking for anything called 'Einstellungen' for 'options', or 'Sprachen' for 'languages'. 'German' will be known as 'Deutsch' and English will be known as 'Englisch' (not much difference there).
