I feel your pain, there's not a single Apple Store here in Ireland, Apple Pay neither, all we are good for is laundering their ridiculous profits. Regularly used to being shafted by couriers to/from Ireland even though some parts of the U.K. mainland are much further apart.
Bought a Region B BD of Snow White last year in Oxford Street only to arrive home to be told, uh-oh, you live in the wrong iTunes region (Ireland-not U.K.) so no digital copy for you!!
Anyway, Ludwig, at least you will have a shorter wait in Germany than we will here

Enjoy it when you get it!
