I'm a new user, too. But I think you should copy
the entry
$wgUseDatabaseMessages = true;
from DefaultSettings.php to LocalSettings.php
and SET the VALUE to FALSE, then your Main page will start with German
interface when you type
http://localhost/index.php/Hauptseite into the
address bar.
There really shouldn't ever be a need to do this - all it does is
disable the rather useful feature of being able to customise your
interface through the wiki, and not worry about over-writing it if you
upgrade. Have a look at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:MediaWiki_namespace and your
wiki's Special:Allmessages
If you want to change the (default) interface language after
installation, you'll need to run maintenance/rebuildMessages.php after
setting the appropriate variable in LocalSettings.php, after which you
can carry on like before.
