Maybe translate that page into German if it helps. It is also possible to put a link to the conduct guidelines into the template for list posts, so every lost will contain that link. It is possible for a moderator to ban a user from posting, for a specific email address. Obviously a determined troll can create other mail accounts. But if they became abusive in this way then we'd follow up with complaints to their ISP. But I think the first step is to discuss conduct guidelines and get agreement within the German community that these are the terms you want to and agree to work with, and that moderators will enforce them.
