Why does my visa say valid for Deutschland instead of Schengen?

Upvote:8

You were issued a limited territorial validity visa (LTV), which likely means you didn't actually fulfil all the Schengen criteria, but given the purpose of your trip, they chose to issue some visa anyway.

LTV visas are rather uncommon (they're most commonly issued as emergency visas on arrival), and you will usually be refused a visa altogether if not fulfilling all requirements. You can try asking the embassy the reason for the LTV visa: however, it is likely they'll tell you to take a hike, as they're not obliged to explain themselves (and often won't).

So no, you are not allowed to travel outside of Germany. Especially don't try to go to France, or by land to Denmark, Sweden or Switzerland, as it's likely you'll actually be checked at the border.
