It seems it's not German mothers having German babies though:

Take away over 30%(!) of births in some regions and you'll see similarly plummeting figures. It's even worse if you consider that many of those births in the "German" column are to foreign mothers with German citizenship.

To make that useful to the question you may want to show that this is different than in US, which sees also a lot of immigration. I added a comment that shows the numbers are also quite normal in UK and France. That should also be accounted for.
