It's your site that was troubled, nobody else's, so don't worry. :-)

Is "eber" or "eber.gnuu.de" your UUCP site name perchance? Then the
germany.net (gnuu.de) UUCP server will think your news is looping
because it already has your site name and silently discard it. (silently
because news articles shall never give rise to error mails except when
posted to reflector groups)

Can you try adding "hostname = home.eber.gnuu.de" to your leafnode
config and place a new test post? If it goes through, then my assumption
is correct and everything is easy as long as you leave the hostname
parameter in.
