The answer would be no, if not for the metric system.
Being short is obviously illegal by German Law. The Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch strictly forbids people to be short and Germans, being a law-abiding folk, comply.
The tricky part is the metric system. You see, Germany uses the metric system. German Law therefore sets the minimum height for adult males at 170 cm. 5′7″ is, however, slightly above that (170.18 cm). That means that there can be some Germans that are just under 5′7″.
