The car industry in Germany already makes a huge number of chips for cars -- they just aren't as sophisticated or as small as the ones made in Taiwan suitable for personal computers so by your own logic they have followed the South Korean model already.

I think the analogy might not fit here too well. While Germany hasn't had a current node fab in country for a while, they have in the recent past (AMD/Global Foundries Dresden comes to mind). I don't think it's at all like they're building an industry from scratch.
