in my own, every website needs to include valid contact information and valid means that you have an address towards which legally binding court orders can be sent.

What does "in my [country]" mean for a website? Do you mean physically hosted on German soil? That's... easy to overcome. Do you mean owned by a German citizen? How would they know?

I'm not sure to what extend courts are going to judge to which jurisdiction a website belongs but I think most websites owned by German citizens count.

How would they know?

Because you weren't careful about separating your identities. Any competitor can ask a lawyer to send you a cease and desist letter to comply with law of having a proper impressum and that lawyer can bill you for sending that letter.

The German wikipedia does provide a summary: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impressumspflicht
