DSA is basically the german D&D. D20 system heroic fantasy with Tolkien races. It is a little less extreme than D&D with its fantasy elements, though. The world tries to stay a lot closer to its (European) medieval inspiration than for example the FR does.

I would agree if you by "the german D&D" mean "the household name in fantasy gaming".

As for mechanics, Dark Eye is something else...

Household name and Tolkien inspired mediaeval-ish setting.
In Germany D&D was never really that widespread. If someone wanted to play a fantasy RPG they played DSA.
