Try checking the fuses, then the relays, then the electrical connections on the washer bottle itself - could be anything from a blown fuse to a broken core in a wire..or even a broken switch on the stem...
Personally I would check everything from the stem down to the fuse box first before giving up and visiting a garage. These things are usually irritating but relatively simple to cure.

Not sure about the german message but I've had to change a few washer motors on E34's over the years. It normally starts with intermittent failure then it just stops altogether.
Can you disconnect the plug and put a volt meter on the terminals to see if you have power when the washer stalk is pressed?

Forgot to mention - stick the german word into Google's translation tool. It's what I use when I'm stumped with something in the manual. Should give you a clue as to what it means.
