Only the uncensored version, there is a censored version that's allowed.
It was banned due to the use of swastika in the game.

Although, it no longer is grounds for an automatic ban, the publisher would need to re-apply the uncensored version for a USK rating.

I think, this puts it pretty clearly.
Some games of the series have a cut version for the german market, but the one, you are attempting to play is banned. As long as you are in Germany, you will not be able to play it.

Yes, and no. Banned games stay banned unless the publisher asks for a new rating from the USK, which they don't do for free.
So don't expect the bans to drop like flies.

Wolfenstein has a geolock in Germany, that means no one is allowed to play an uncensored copy in Germany.

No, nothing you can do. Unless you remove the uncensored copy from your account and purchase a censored one.
Or wait until the game gets re-classified. Which is unlikely to happen soon.

What makes you think that? Because it absolutely is not true.

That is so untrue its laughable. From an early age onward you get constantly bombarded with the evils of the NS regime and World War 2. There are documentations about Nazi Germany and the holocaust on TV pretty much every week.
NO country in the world has dealt with its terrible past that extensively as Germany has.
