Last year, a total of four games have been released exclusively in Germany (as far as I'm aware, anyway) for the Nintendo Switch. Three of them are published by the same company, while one is a different story altogether.
The aforementioned trio was, for some strange reason, only ever released in retail for several months before they finally released internationally on the eShop. However, the retail releases remain in Germany. The games are 3D Mini Golf, Island Flight Simulator, and Tales of the Tiny Planet. I'm not sure about Island Flight Simulator, but 3D Mini Golf has been previously released on Steam for $9.99, and Tales of the Tiny Planet can be found on mobile devices for cheap.
The fourth game has yet to leave German territories in any condition. This one is Schlag den Star (which roughly translates to Beat the Star). It's a tie-in to a game show that's popular there, and there are even predecessors released on Wii there. It is available in both retail and digital formats, and you can find it on the eShop if you set up a German Nintendo account and use it to access it.
Pictured here is my imported copy of 3D Mini Golf with Rocket League (I got both of them in the mail when I came home one day). There are a few eBay sellers around that carry these games, but you'd have to be willing to pay much more than the games themselves are worth.
I actually received Schlag den Star digitally to review for TICGN.com. I wrote reviews for both that game and 3D Mini Golf. So if you want to know about them in greater detail, here are a couple links:
