Flammable "Fertilizer."
Automatic Transmission
Assault rifles
Nope. There where several "assault rifles" designed and built long before the StGew44 or the AK47 showed up.
The Italians even adopted one in the 1890s. But because Italian industry wasn't, let's just say not very capable at the time, only small numbers were produced. Even the Browning BAR, adopted in 1918, predates it and lasted far longer in service around the world.
If there is one thing the Germans did give to the world was the Reinheitsgebot in 1516. Because beer should only be made from water, barley, and hops. For that alone, they stand tallest in history.

Printed circuit boards. Printing press. Graph theory. Theory of relativity. Homeopathy.
You could've really stopped at "relativity".
Yes but I felt the need to include the evil/misguided minority of Germans, and I managed to do it without referencing certain 20th century events.

Zyklon B?
Nowadays we invent things by describing the thing in Chatgibidy instead.
Chatskibidi?
The automobile - pronounce it out loud, you'll say it something like "ow-toe moh-beel", i.e. in a German accent. Because Germans invented cars.
The assault rifle. They invented the concept, a handful of prototypes without the relevant doctrine (or for the 1890s one, even a detachable magazine) is irrelevant. Fight me, @bluewing.

Diesel engine, Fischer-Tropsch, Homeopathy.
Rigid (as in using a solid frame to keep shape instead of gas pressure) airships? Unless there's an earlier example of that than the ones Zeppelin made that I'm not thinking of
