The grading system in Germany is quite complicated. We have one were 1 = "very good" (this is the classic system of Schulnoten which is used quite often) and one were 0 = "the worst". For more details have a look at Wikipedia:

And at the end of Highschool (Gymnasium) you have one that goes from 00 to 15. 15 being the best. It is strange.

No, it lost. Germans generally rate things with 1 being the best score, and higher numbers being worse.

Six (or very long ago five) is usually the worst number.
