It seems so to me too :-)

A good thing is that the problem is not gramps-specific. This means that
something is missing on the lower level.

Here:

e
are the steps that debian uses to activate a locale. It seems that LANG
works _only_ if the LC_ALL is not set, and if LANGUAGE is not set.
Check your environment ('printenv | grep LANG'). Apparently, KDE is
enforcing the locale some way other than just setting LANG :-)

Maybe all you need to do is to set LANGUAGE or LC_ALL to de_DE
