GnuPG
http://www.gnupg.org/

with a front end of

GPGShell
http://www.jumaros.de/rsoft/index.html
(not open source, but is the easiest for a beginner to use)

both the above are from Germany, and are free

GnuPG is compatible with PGP,
and can be decrypted by users using American produced PGP,

am not sure if that would exclude it from your search,

if you want something small enough where you can read and verify every
line of source code yourself,

try the Pure Crypto Project
http://senderek.de/pcp/

German, free and open source,
but python based command line only
