"Overall the data shows that Germany's comparatively robust economy has not escaped the crisis unscathed," said Peter Meister of BHF Bank told Reuters.
"A lot of economic data coming out of the U.S. and big emerging markets has not been particularly positive recently. The German economy, which is very dependent on exports, will see a slowdown in the coming months."
