What POD would be needed to have France be a collection of small states and Germany the big bear in Europe. The later the better and what the effect on Europe be if Germany was a major power.

This Germany will include Austria, Germany, half of Poland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands.
 
In Germany great interregnum never happens (Friedrich II is more successful?) and in France capetingian policy turns out to be a failure due to conflict with major feudal lords. Introduction of a custom to elect kings from different dynasties (instead of line of Capet's descendants) would be helpful.
