Since you are in Germany, not that far away, I can recommend Malcolm Taylor Leica Specialist Upper Lye Farm, Aymestrey, Leominster, Herefordshire HR6 9SZ UK Tel: +44 (0) 1568 770542 He will not only be able to service your lens but is also able to re-coat the elements. It may be worth contacting him before sending the lens elsewhere.
