Konrad Zuse - the first freely programmable Computer

Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin - rigid dirigible a lighter-than-air vehicle (Wellknown as Zeppelin)

Werner von Siemens - first electric elevator

Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen - the x-rays

Nikolaus August Otto - a Four-Stroke Internal-Combustion Engine, called the Otto Cycle Engine

Hermann Oberth - a rocket scientiest

Werner von Braun - the V1 and V2, the first rockets

Paul Nipkow - the first electromechanical television

Karl von Linde - process of liquifying gas a part of the basic refrigeration technology

Felix Hoffmann - Aspirin

Johannes Gutenberg - printing maschine

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit - alcohol thermometer

Rudolf Diesel - the Diesel Engine

Freiherr von Drais - Draisine, the Bicycle

We are just smarter, lol. But you can probably put together a long list of inventions from people in other nations. The US, Japan, and China come to mind. If you go further back Italy, Greece, Egypt, Persia. As long as there is a drive to make life better and a country has a certain level of prosperity, there'll be more inventors there.

You started your Comment with " We are just smarter...." So You are a German ?

You are right that many other countries have Inventors, like Thomas Edison, Martin Cooper (Mobile Phone) or Alexander Graham Bell.

The Wright Brothers invented a motor driven Plane. Wow!!! The Motor was invented by german, the airplane was invented by german. They only fixed it together. So their Invention is based on Germans again.

Just pick another Invention and research, somewhere at the beginning you mostly will find a german brain.
