The default documents are set as points, but you can create a new document and change to cm, mm, inches, etc. by clicking on measurement and select the correct measurement.

You need to change the install language to German in the Creative CLoud app.

Either first uninstall the English version. Or have Illustrator run in the same language as your system.

In the Units section of the application preferences you can change units.

 

Also you can right click on the rulers and choose what you prefer.
