Sorry, meant to do this on Fri, then got sidetracked; just been too nice out!
Here's a bunch of images of the propane connection, with captions below each:

This is the five foot hose that came with my new 22" Cook Partner

Stove side connection. You can order this to be left or right side. You can also custom order various lengths of propane supply hose. I suspect you can custom order a hose from Partner that will work for German propane tanks, though I couldn't find that info on
their site. Must be an adapter, as well, that will allow you to use this hose on a German propane tank. You may have better luck finding out info on custom ordering from the dealer. I found the best deal to be at
Adventure Ready, but there may be a dealer in Germany that can source a Cook Partner for you.

Stove side 5/8" male connection. Let me know if you need the thread info.

Tank end connection. This is reverse threaded, standard for US propane tank connections. Note the hose comes with a built-in regulator, at 27psi.

Hose stows nicely under the grill, which comes out easily and re-installs just as easily, though very securely. Makes cleaning a breeze.
Definitely one of the best pieces of gear I own. No problems at altitude, no problems adjusting flame from lowest to full blast, no repairs of any kind needed yet. I've had mine since early last summer and used it every day on a long 16 week trip and several times since, including two-three times a day just last week. No adjustments were needed after having been unused for a few months.
Let me know if there is any other info I can help you with, or if I can ship any hose connection parts, etc.
Good luck, let us know what you end up doing!
