It's mainly because the show's setting has a European aesthetic, and German names fit well with that vibe. Makes the world-building more immersive!

I've read that Hajime Isayama wanted to create a world that looked different from typical Japanese settings. German names helped achieve that distinct feel!

Isayama-san just really liked German names. Sometimes it's as simple as that!
