Hi,
the problem with visas issued only in the country of citizenship applies also for Germany. I have found a workaround though. When I was in Korea I needed a Russian visa. I did sent my passport back to Germany to a visa agency. They did all the paperwork for me and did sent the passport back to Korea (That was 5 years ago).
This time we had a similar problem. We had our passports sent to Italy by the same visa agency. The fee they take (35 EUR) is nothing compared to the time they saved us.
There are a bunch of visa agencies out there, the one we used is Spomer GmbH:
Visum Russland, Belarus, Ukraine, China und GUS-Staaten - Spomer GmbH
Cheers Patrick
PS: I have nothing to do with Spomer GmbH but had a good experience so far (in total 6 business visas to Russia).
