For example, i want to geocode this address: Fichtenweg 13, 76356 Weingarten
I receive these hits:

For comparison search for it on https://openstreetmap.de/karte/
It has one hit on 8.51298409552871, 49.0675323 - which is correct.

How can I receive the same results as openstreetmap?

Hmmh, this is indeed strange (especially since locale=en returns the correct result).

How can I receive the same results as openstreetmap?

You can use the external geocoding provider nominatim, see Documentation - GraphHopper Directions API
