Just a point, this is not what I was taught as being German Gothic

This is an example of German Kurrent or cursive writing

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Kurrentschrift

German Gothic is called Blackletter, there are several types.

I think it looks more complicated than it really is because of the language.

correct. Kurrent
