[TYPO3] different languages hosted on different servers

> german sites are sites with a TLD .de
You are wrong here.

they also can include e.g .org sites or .com sites hosted in germany. A
search with paramter ".site:.de" woudl not include these.
Well - actually i can not speak for germany but for Austria:
search for:  "free .site:.at"  gives different results, than  searching for
"free" only but using "pages from Austria" option. (to reproduce start your
search at google.at ). the 2nd search includes free.netbase.org   - this
server is indeed hosted in Austria.

or try a search for "free .site:.com" for pages from Germany or Austria.

Though i too have my doubts that the physical server location has a big
influence -if any- on the ranking.
But maybe Chad has different facts. I would love to see an example.

the European languages and European domains, it is more than likely that
your rankings will not be very good. If you have the local domain hosted in
the local country, your site gets ranked much higher when the button "sites
from XXXX only" is clicked.
