Challange: Germans vs Aztecs

I saw this documentary where Cortez spoke German so your task, if you choose to accept, is to have a German speakers taking on the Aztecs.
 
Just delay some years the Spanish expeditions to Mexico (an easy POD should be that Diego Velázquez arrested Cortés in 1519, when he was trying to lead his expedition to the West without authorization). The Spanish don't know about the Aztecs so there isn't the gold fever that sparked the conquests of the 1520-1550s in the Americas, El Dorado tales and all that stuff. Instead, more colonists stablishes in the Antilles and New Granada. Yucatan is visited regullarly but it is described as a backwater and doesn't receive many attention apart from missionary activity, some trade and the rescue of shipwrecked from the "cannibals". By 1529 the Welser obtain a commercial concession in the west, instead of in Venezuela like in OTL, and German, Dutch and Flemish colonists starts to mix with the Spanish in the New World. Some time after a colony is founded in the site of OTL Veracruz, Governor Ambrosius Ehringer receives an embassy from the Emperor Cuitlahuac with kilos of gold and the rest is predictable.
