Germany (and virtually all of Europe) adheres to a /jus sanguinis/
citizenship policy: a child is born German if one of his parents is German.

How is the child's citizenship established in practice? Is it as simple
as the parent registering the child's birth at the local Gemeindeamt and
showing his or her (the parent's) German passport or identity paper, and
if the parent's paper indicates German citizenship, that's what's marked
for the child?
