Hello Lars,
I don't know of any specific limitation regarding proximity targets
and Germany.
What I'd suggest doing is using the AdWords web interface to check to
make sure that your campaign geo-targeting options are set up as you
intend them to be. If you create a geo-target via the AdWords API and
then visit the geo-targeting options page in the AdWords web interface
you should see your geo-target reflected on the Google Maps display.
If you're seeing something other than what you expect then you know
that you're not setting things up properly using the AdWords API.
Conversely, if you're not sure about which options to pass in using
the AdWords API you can try setting up your targeting initially using
the AdWords web interface and then fetching the campaign using the
AdWords API and taking a look at how those targeting options translate
into AdWords API GeoTargets. The caveat is that I believe there are
still geo-targeting options available via the web interface (like
arbitrary polygons) that do no translate into AdWords API GeoTargets.
A simple center/radius proximity target should translate, though.
Cheers,
-Jeff Posnick, AdWords API Team
