The first one manufactured in Germany was the Maxim Model 08, which they had to licence from the British, and which was designed by an American. After the war, "German" machine guns get a bit iffy... the Treaty of Versailles prevented Germany from developing military arms, so, as a loophole, they did their military development outside of Germany, in countries such as Sweden and the Soviet Union.
