This is almost correct; you can use Access Rules to change
the virtual root [Philipp: put an access rule in the 'german'
folder, and in the access rule, do something like 
REQUEST.setVirtualRoot('http://server/german')],
and then the absolute_url is relative to this root.

I don't know anything about breakcrumbs or breadcrumbs,
but I think investing a little in access rules will
make your life easier along the way -- your dtml will
look much more natural.

Hope this helps,
