I think with those settings it should read

That would be English language and German time and date format.
What you say implies that Apple's default values for System

Why do you think so? Default for German is 24 hours with the " Uhr"
suffix. That's fine.
It is interesting, though, that both Mail.app and the menu bar clock
(currently "Mit 17:31 Uhr" for the 24-hour clock and "Mit 17:31" for
the 12-hour clock) _are_ picking up the use of the am/pm designator
with the 24-hour clock.
The menu bar clock will display "Mi., 5:31" for the 12-hour setting,
not "Mit. 17:13".
And, yes, it is picking up the AM/PM values that you set in the time
preferences. But there's still no point in using the 12 hour setting
for Germany; even more though, as there are no AM/PM designators
assigned for this setting. :)
Oh, and that dot behind the day is just wrong. I don't know from where
the menu bar clock got that. It's not there in the date preferences.
bye. Andreas.
