As far as I am aware (and I am by no means an expert) Germans who work abroad may have a tax liability back in Germany as well as being required to pay the local tax of the host country in which they work.
As I see it, your au pair requires a personal tax allowance, and associated tax code, from your local Tax Office to enable you to deduct PAYE (to conform to UK tax rules) plus you need to record on the Lohnsteuerkarte the Gross Payment and Tax Deducted for the relevant tax year which she must forward to her (German) Tax Office.
Your local Tax Office may be able to shed more light on this issue.
