Your comments about black peple in germany being a bit of a rarity strike me as wierd. Mostly because I've grown up around black and mixed germans and have always had plenty of contact with them.

I now live in a bit of a black neighborhood (lots of black stylists/barbers and specialized shops around) but that hasn't always been the case and I still saw plenty of black people on the train daily.
They are certainly a minority, especially in eastern germany I guess.

German black immigrants often have widespread community connections though, (I have a friend who, despite not having a lot of contact with him, keeps being adressed by people who are strangers to her, but know her father and ask after how she's doing etc.), so what you saw might just be people who know each other casually at best, that had a polite little chat and then went about heir seperate days.
