Your hunch is right I would say (not that it matters much but I'm a native speaker).

So how about the following patch (CC'ing the original translator)

commit 724bf68da28b75e04a9fda34b08e95259ade9ec3 (HEAD -> master)
Author: Thomas Braun <thomas.braun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Sun Dec 15 18:28:42 2019 +0100

    lang de: Reword generation numbers
    
    The english term generation is here not used in the sense of "to
    generate" but in the sense of "generations of beings".
    
    This corrects the initial translation from cf4c0c25 (l10n: update German
    translation, 2018-12-06).
    
    Fixed-by: "SZEDER Gábor" <szeder.dev@xxxxxxxxx>
