What am I missing?

It's not distributed by Universal in Germany, they have no rights or control over the distribution many movies in other countries.

12 Monkeys are distributed by Concorde. They are distributing the following region free Blu-ray titles in Germany:

12 Monkeys - Distributed in USA by Universal
Alpha Dog - Distributed in USA by Universal
The Jackal - Distributed in USA by Universal

Black Christmas - Distributed in USA by Weinstein

Tomb Raider - Distributed in USA by Paramount
Tomb Raider 2 - Distributed in USA by Paramount
We were Soldiers - Distributed in USA by Paramount

Phantom of the Opera - Distributed in USA by Warner

Silent Hill - Distributed in USA by Sony
Underworld - Distributed in USA by Sony

Death at a Funeral - Distributed in USA by MGM (?)

Here are some of them on Amazon.de:

I personally own The Jackal and 12 Monkeys and can confirm that they are region free. Another "Universal"-movie that is available region free on Blu-ray is U-571 which I also own. It is distributed by Entertainment in Video in UK.
