Looks like something is wrong with your setup. Please check that German is
really set and that the German hyphenation patterns are loaded (the latter
should be noted at the beginning of Document > LaTeX Log).
BTW there are some new, experimental hyphenation patterns for German that are
already generally better than the LaTeX defaults. You can load it via
\usepackage[ngerman=ngerman-x-latest]{hyphsubst}

either put the words in an \mbox{...} (via ERT) or add a list like this in
your preamble:
\hyphenation{foo,bar,moo,...}
