If a tsunami hits Germany, places like Kiel will be screwed. The Netherlands too. Most of Germany will be fine.

Tsunami in the Baltic Sea (or North Sea, for that matter)?! How's that supposed to happen?

Lots of ways. Imagine a meteorite strikes the North Sea for instance (tongue-in-cheek).

Tsunami in Germany would have to be caused by a meteorite in the near sea, so you are not safe :P

Could as well be caused by a major submarine landslide of the Norwegian continental shelf. There's some evidence that this did happen at least once in the (geological) past.
