The German Grading system is quite different than Indian Grading system as well as UK/USA CGPA system. The Schools in Germany use 6 point Grading scale where 1 is the highest and 6 is the least or Failing grade. On the other hand Universities in Germany or University of Applied Sciences use 1 to 5 Scale where 1 is the highest 5 is the lowest and Minimum passing Grade is 4. So Universities in Germany assess International Qualifications on 1 to 4 Grading scale as 4 is the minimum passing grade.
