The de/*.xml file is generated from the original C/ .xml file and the
de/de.po file:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtkmm-documentation/tree/docs/tutorial/de

It's just that nobody has done much work on the German translation. But
it's still there so that
a) Someone can gradually finish the German translation.
b) You see how you might add a translation for a different language
instead.

The GNOME Help browser (yelp) reads these DocBook XML (.xml) files
directly.

Yes, which you could use to view it in a web browser.
