Stupid question but is it always in German? very ocassionally mine comes up in German then corrects itself.
It may be that the heater matrix is blocked up or the HBV has a problem, does your car have aircon? climate control?

Also, worth putting your location in your profile.

As Mark has said above, will need TechII (or Opel Scanner) to reset the display language.

Taking a total guess at the heat problem I would say either HBV or thermostat stuck open.
