There are two types of music, Felia.  German and bad.

Ask any German.

Hey Felia, sorry that I did not help you out that time we chatted, but If you still have questions maybe I can ask around or somebody I know here in germany who knows.
Or my piano teacher.

What are your questions in particular ?
Maybe I can help you out ?

A "German School" doesn't exist. If you want to choose a German conservatory I recommend to get into personal contact with a pianist you want to study with. Like anywhere else there are exellent ones and (unfortunately) very bad ones. They come from all parts of the world.

For piano the conservatories with the highest international reputation are Hannover, Freiburg and Munich.

So said the Italians that the Italian standard is very hard.

So said the Russians that the Russian standard is very hard.

So said the Chinese that the Chinese standard is very hard.

I would not put any faith into any particular Country's school of music to be superior to any other.

It is the teacher of that school that makes the difference not the school itself.

My teacher who is conductor teaching students to pass the entrance exam for conservatory told me that  the entrance exam is harder than the final exam, coz it is politically desirable not to let many ppl study music.

Why do I have this feeling that everyone is misunderstanding this thread?  He didn't ask about the "German school" of piano playing, he obviously asked if someone could recommend a school, located in Germany.

Hahaha, LOL you may be right. I took it to mean the German method as opposed to say the Russian method of piano playing. :-\

What was originally asked was the standard in Germany.  Nothing about any school in Germany.
