Is it a usual practice in the German Wikipedia? What
is the reason for it?
Is there a policy page about it?
Are there are Wikipedia projects that do this?
This is because the import function works this way. I think it would be
better if imported revisions are marked as with origin from another
Wikipedia.
That it works this way is on all wikis which import pages.
