I think it's definitely a social science of some sort.
From that wiki page they list: anthropology, archaeology, communication studies, economics, history, human geography, jurisprudence, linguistics, political science, psychology, public health, and sociology.
Of those, I'm taking immediate issue with history and jurisprudence. Public health is probably out as being too close to either biology or math.
I'd say most likely candidate for our German girl are economics, anthropology, sociology, psychology.
