There are populations of these in France and Italy so perhaps it got a bit waylaid. Also perhaps significant the major storm that's just gone over W. Europe?
Yep as Doren said, it doe look like a Sacred Ibis, cool spotting!
Yes, this looks like a Sacred Ibis, Threskiornis aethiopicus, which is not a naturally-occurring species in Germany. This could be an escapee from a zoological garden.
