German on the other hand not so much. On the other hand, it’s usually very precise and information-dense, which is reflected in how fast it rather slow it’s spoken, especially compared to Spanish.
Eh, there’s lots of filler in German, too. I learned both Spanish and German and as far as I can tell, Spain-Spanish fast talking is more a feature of cultural extroversion than anything inherent to the language. Even many of the american Spanish speakers speak considerably slower than the Spaniards, and there’s no obvious reason why Spanish should be spoken so much faster than Italian, Portuguese or even French.

Talking speed differs greatly by region though. Slowest speakers are probably Swiss and fastest being citizens of Frankfurt.
