Yes, first of three at an estimated cost of EUR1.2bn. Apparently it has a "transitional cabin" and will be upgraded to the full spec when the other two have been delivered. The headline on a story at the time of the order was "German government orders three Airbus a350-900 to prevent VIP delays".
They are also to be used for Medevac and troop transport. They are also in the process of receiving 3 Bombadier Global 6000s for government use. (They have also ordered another 3 BG6000s as Sigint platforms having cancelled an order for 4 MQ-4C Tritons)
