It's not a good idea to use another language Wikipedia as your source. That would make spreading misinformation far too easy. Instead you should find where they got it from and cite that as a source (even if it's in German). If the article is translated from the German Wikipedia, it's a good idea to mention that in the references section, though.
Thanks, That approach feels better to me too. Right now I'm Googling it to death to see what I can find.

The funny thing is that the bigger languages wikipedia are frequently used as source for smaller languages wikipedia, with full translation of article :-)
