Am i weird or is this a normal reaction for a non-German?
I would say neither! I don't think it is weird but I wouldn't exactly like to call it the "normal" non-German reaction. I would expect that it is an individual reaction that is influenced by a range of different things.
I'm a Brit and I don't mind being naked or seeing other naked people - as long as everyone is comfortable. I did not know what my comfort level was until I had a few sauna experiences. I have more problem with not taking my swimming costume off to shower in UK pools (showers being communal and changing space in cubicles often) or wearing things in the sauna, both of which I find quite unpleasant.
Basically find a place where you are able to do what you are happy doing... whether that be clothed, naked with others of the same sex or whatever!
