Believe me, plenty of parts guns have been sold and even made up for sale. I sold an Essex frame .45 a while back with a Colt GI replacement slide I picked up at a gun show. Gun shot well, too!
I am not sure of German law, but I think even a gun made or built for one's personal use has to be proved to be legal; it most certainly would if the gun were to be sold.
Your guess as to how it got here is as good as mine. Peters-Stahl had an importer a few years back and their guns were sold here in small numbers. If they were actually using Essex frames, that gun could have come in at that time. Or it could have been purchased in Germany by an American (GI, most likely) and brought back.
