        There are few bugs:

        1. You have 2 items for same language. 2 pages are for EN and 2 for DE. You should have only one item per language. This mean 1 page for EN and 1 page for DE.

        2. You need x-default item. X-default item should be for worldwide users - so will be EN for your case. Please note - you must have x-default and EN.

        So here is example how it should be in your case:

        And this snippet should be placed on all that 3 pages.

        I hope that this helps. If you have other questions first read Moz articles about hreflang:
        https://moz.com/learn/seo/hreflang-tag
        https://moz.com/blog/hreflang-behaviour-insights
        https://moz.com/blog/open-source-library-tool-check-hreflang
        https://moz.com/blog/using-the-correct-hreflang-tag-a-new-generator-tool

        And read some Google information about it:
        https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=en
        https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2620865?hl=en

        So - hreflang are trick but isn't something impossible.

            I ran my Hreflang testing tool for your URL and got these results:

            https://app.hreflang.org/results.php?runid=12cf3a998a6fa864dd2a5ca02bc4bbdc20160204192756

            So what Peter said is correct. And if you need to make changes and test again, you can use the tool again.
