Also having lived in Dresden and speaking some German, I recognize the German grammar affecting your last sentence there.

If it’s of interest, a native English speaker would say something like “but I have lived in Germany for nine years”

I know I appreciated it when the Germans would correct my German grammar :)

Funny, since German is my third language but I guess it creeps into my second and first languages as well.
