Difference here is that you are calling to a german number and I asumen you are in germany at that moment. Take any cell phone which is roaming outside their home network and you will notice that it takes some time before the phone rings. This is probably because the call goes to your home provider which you are not logged into, than it will be forwarded to the roaming network you are in. This will cause the delay.

The option of ringing is a valid option but as I said, adding more rings can also make people hangup after 4 rings, before you answer the phone.
