That’s a power play. Any loans that Germany gives out come at the cost of the borrower’s national sovereignty; those are part of the terms of such loans. Why else did the countries that took the loans resist them at first, and then get their governments replaced (suddenly) with politicians that were receptive to the loans?

But who would want to own, say, Greece, and inherit it's debts / economy? German taxpayers? It seems unlikely...

Taxpayers, no; elites, yes.
