If compiling evolution-data-server yourself (the string is
in /calendar/backends/contacts/e-cal-backend-contacts.c) is not an
option and in case that you have a technical background:
Maybe edit /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/evolution-data-server-3.2.mo
with a hexeditor by finding and replacing the string "Geburtstag: %s" by
"%s"? 
WARNING: I have not tried if that works, and backups of files can really
save your day if things go totally wrong.
