Let me give yo a tip about the legalities involved, this will help you understand the issue.
- There are agreements between countries to let each other's aircraft fly. - But for that, they must comply with internationally agreed requirements. - Experimentals, by definition, do not comply. They are not truly "certified". In fact, they are granted a special permit to fly, which is granted, on it's own responsibility and accrding to it's own standards, by their country's airworthiness authority (for you, the US guys, the FAA). - So, other countries do not automatically have to let foreign experimentals fly their skies. Be aware that: - An experimental, to cross a border, has to request permission from the authorities of the foreign country - Registration of an experimental, in any country, is a grey area, because it's airworthinesss has to be ASSESSED, and not simply checked. This is something your FAA guys in Europe probably can't do. My advice: register it in Germany.

From my experience (I mastered at the Technical University Braunschweig and had a lot of dealings with this office) it is rather difficult to get an experimental aircraft certified. I would recommend to get in touch with the Oscar Ursinus Vereinigung, which - to my knowledge - is a registered chapter with the EAA as well. I do not have any contact information - unfortunately - but you may check the chapter listings for Germany on the EAA webpage. Through the OUV you might be able to get some type of certification for experimentals in Germany, as most of the homebuilders in Germany do it through them.
