No, the misnamed "protestant reformation" pretty much occurred all over Europe. The Peace of Augsburg in 1555 said that (in the Roman Empire) the religion of the prince would be the religion of the people, period, although those who did not want his religion could move within a certain period of time. So countries that had Catholic princes remained Catholic and the others became Lutheran. Later the Peace of Westphalia included the brand new Calvinist heresy in this. Meanwhile, in England, the King and later the Queen forcibly made everyone go to their newly invented "Anglican" Church. France had all kinds of trouble, the only land that stayed pretty sane was Spain, the rulers through would not allow the protestant troublemakers into their country, and Italy, most of which was ruled by the Pope at that time.

All schools in Germany are public, and all schools offer classes in religion. By law, students are allowed to opt out or to take the class that corresponds to their religion, generally Catholic or Protestant--though sometimes also Jewish or Muslim, among others. The Protestant church in Germany is the product of a merger of several previous churches, so "Lutheran" and "Calvinist" don't exist as separate denominations: there is only "Protestant."
