I also had the same problem here in korea, I changed the setting and its working fine for me. You can try this out: setting> store>click on ur ID>select view ID>enter ur password>u can see the option for changing the region or country below the billing information> click and select ur new region and agree with terms.

This should work. All the best.

If your iTunes account is based in Germany then the app store and iTunes store will be in German, and you can't change them - the stores will be in the language of the country where your account is. If your account is not based in Germany (or another German speaking country), then try logging out of your account by tapping on it in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if the store is then in the correct language.

After updating to iOS7 my App Store on my Ipad switched to German. I wasted a few hours and my husbands patients and then switched the Ipad off and on again. It didn't work. Then, after wasting a bit more time and endlessly tapping the same things, I wrote to Apple support a few minutes ago and waiting for their answer. Then I switched the Ipad off again and left it for a while - BINGO!
