The issue for me (and apparently also gwd) is that this does not seem to be a conclusion that could be made from the sort of evidence collected from this study, and I cannot imagine how that would result from a translation error (unless a whole sentence or more was simply dropped in translation?)

Yes. Same url just drop the "_en": https://www.land.nrw/sites/default/files/asset/document/zwis...

The statements are similar so they are stating this community went through the worst case scenario and ended up with 0,37% fatality.

If that mortaility rate is common, it would mean there are ~10x (or more) infected in the world...

This sort-of coincides with the large asymptomatic reports. So what do we do from here on? Such numbers would surely raise the famous r0 infection rate, and it means this is far more contagious than reported/believed.

r0 can stay the same, it can just means that the epidemic "took off" earlier than what our tests show.

I didn't notice at first, but FWIW it looks like the kinds of grammar constructions that my colleagues in Germany tend to use when writing.
