Yeah it's only the third largest economy in the world
I just checked and the can of Paulaner in the fridge is not affected by the outage so far, thus my trust into German economy remains unshaken.

You can both be the 3rd biggest economy in the world and still only be 1/10th of US+China GDPs combined.
And only three companies in the Top 100 for Germany:

Germany is the kingdom of the "mittelstand": many, many, many SMEs.
Both GP and you are right: it's the 3rd largest economy in the world and yet it's simply not that big.

In other words: I expect this German DNS SNAFU to have 0.000000001% impact on the world's GDP this year.

126 trillion USD * 0.00000000001 = 1260USD
I'm pretty sure the impact was higher than that ;)
