The "GDP Growth (Real)" column in the wikipedia article GP linked agrees, but it doesn't tell a story that justifies "Germany's GDP is shrinking".
See the graph "G7 Real GDP % change compared to pre-Pandemic level":

The US has 13.3% growth and Germany 0.1%.
Two points:
1) GDP is, while very important, not the only measure of country's prosperity
And
2) how much of those 13.3% is being hoarded by a single-digit amount of companies?

Without the incestous web of the AI bubble, the US would actually be in a recession, especially due to the tariffs.
