Are you using Nuclear power as renewable in that figure?

35% renewable.

12% nuclear.

No, nuclear is not reneweable. The main sources of reneweable are wind, solar, bio mass, water. Depending on the source the exact numbers might vary for small differences in counting, but to see the overall development, look here: https://www.energy-charts.de/ren_share_de.htm?source=ren-sha...
Your source goes to 2017, and considering Germany has been fast tracking their renewables effort, a jump of 10% isn't inconceivable.
It's misleading and very far from the truth though.
