You shouldn't add all those arguments. Just use http://wms1.ccgis.de/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/data/umn/germany/germany.map The additional arguments are added by QGIS automatically. REQUEST=GetCapabilities is used to retrieve the available layers and REQUEST=GetMap is later used to retrieve the actual images - so adding GetCapabilities to the initial URL will at least break the image retrieval.
