Note that this is the default on GuixSD.

On GuixSD, installing ‘glibc-locales’ is unnecessary.  Instead, the
admin should set the ‘locale’ field of the ‘operating-system’
declaration (see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Locales.html>.)

Here, it should be enough to do:

  (operating-system
    ;; ...
    (locale "de_DE.utf8"))
