More rain for Germany too but more in shorter periods of time which makes it dangerous and more water runs of without filling ground water

That's the story pretty much all over Europe: Italy, France, Britain... They all have problems with seasonal floods that are very recent. It's not that they were dry countries before, and overall annual rainfall is often lower than it was in the past, but it creates more problems because it's much more concentrated on shorter and shorter timespans.
