Do I need an ESTA for changing airplanes in Puerto Rico?

Yes. When it comes to ESTA all US territories are treated like mainland US. Therefore you always need to apply for ESTA.

I’m from Germany myself and I always needed an ESTA number to transit through the US.

Here are two links that should help (auf Deutsch 😉

Yes, you do need an ESTA. Puerto Rico has the same visa requirements as the mainland US (= ESTA needed for EU citizens), and like all other US airports, San Juan’s airport does not recognize the concept of visa-free transit.
