The court has been considering what to do about a Spanish extradition request for Mr Puigdemont for more than a week.
Spain has accused the former Catalan president of rebellion, but the court concluded that the closest equivalent to this in German law was high treason.
But it ruled that in Mr Puigdemont's case there was no element of violence, so the charge was inadmissible.
However, the court in the northern city of Schleswig said there could be a case to answer for misusing public funds last October to hold an unauthorised independence referendum.
It has asked for further information on these charges and set bail at 75,000 euros (£65,000; $90,000).
