---- how do I get a good ranking in Google.de

.. or is it ok just to point the domain name straight at the german page

On Google.de the user has 3 options
1. Das Web (WWW)
2. Seiten auf Deutsch (pages in the German language)
3. Seiten aus Deutschland (pages from Germany)

Not only in Germany, but also in Austria, Switzerland etc some people use German. If there is enough text on every page, Google will be able to correctly guess these new pages are in German. To avoid missing potential visitors having 'Seiten aus Deutschland' selected, you better keep the German text on the .de domain.
