"Alles ist Eitelkeit" or "Das alles ist Windhauch" may be German equivalents of "All is vanity."
The German and the English phrases represent translations of a statement in the biblical Old Testament. The specific location is Ecclesiastes 1:2. The original term from the Latin version is "vanitas," which refers to the "emptiness" or fleeting nature of life. That meaning is reflected in the German choice of "Windhauch." In contast, the word "Eitelkeit" litrally means "vanity."
