My belief, from what I've read, is that in most countries anti-immigrant sentiment correlates with area where there are currently few immigrants. I wonder if that's the same case in Germany?

It's more complex than that. Also, the media tend to concentrate on cases like Maria Ladenburger that are statically negligible while ignoring long-term threats that are more or less a taboo topic.

This seems to be the case. Anti-immigrant parties are more popular in sparsely populated areas that are mostly "ethnically German". This happens to also show up as an East/West divide for obvious reasons.
