it looks like you've goit some repo enabled that enables a bunch of German
repos. Looking at the epel mirror list it may be epel that is the culprit.

I find that I often get a long long string of epel mirror errors when 
I first run a yum command, but if, after it errors out, I run it again,
then heck, it works fine. have you tried rerunning the yum command?

I've never bothered to report the problem to epel because it is easy
to work around (and I'm lazy), but if you can't get around it, you
may wish to file a report.

Good luck!
