Changing Localization from EN -> DE adds a "Land"-field to the Adress

Changing the "user language" in "Administer CiviCRM-> Global Settings > Localization" from "en_US" to "de_DE" adds a incomprehensible "Land"-field (englisch>country) field in the "Edit contact" view. This field has following html code:

<span id="id_location_2_address_county">
<div class="form-item">
<span class="labels">
<label for="location_2_address_county_id">Land</label>
</span>
<span class="fields">
<select name="location[2][address][county_id]" id="location_2_address_county_id" class="form-select">
<option value="">- auswählen -</option>
<option value="1">Alameda</option>
<option value="2">Contra Costa</option>
<option value="3">Marin</option>
<option value="4">San Francisco</option>
<option value="5">San Mateo</option>
<option value="6">Santa Clara</option>
</select>
</span>

EDIT: This can be replicated in the Sandbox by changing the user-language to "de_DE" and afterwards editing a contact.
