There is a list of semantic primes on the German Wikipedia, though it seems like it's just a translation from the English words: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantisches_Primitivum

The theory of semantic primes is that they are universal, so (aside from using an older or newer version of the list of primes, like the 14-prime or 65-prime versions instead of the 60-prime version), you'd expect the list for any other language to be equivalent to a translation of the list for whichever language you encountered the list for first.
