Was there a reason he asked me and not her, or was that just random?
Yes. It means that they still consider it ok to fight with your wife (maybe even physically, as was the case in the US until the 80's or so), kind of a left over attitude from when wives were men's property. In the US the tendency is more to ask the woman if what's going on is ok with her. Germany hasn't caught up yet, apparently.

Seriously?! How long did you live in Germany to come to that conclusion?
My wife and I were having a discussion in a train station regarding which train to take. Because we had opposing opinions, our voices were slightly raised. A policeman walked up to me and asked me (first in German and then in English), "do you know this lady"?. I said "she's my wife!". Then he said "Okay, perfect!" and skipped away. At no point did he attempt to make any conversation with her.
What do you make of that?
BTW we're an interracial couple if that is of any relevance.
Which of you is black or white in this relationship? If race was an issue, you left out key information

She is white. She is also taller and larger than I am, which should make me think the cop was asking about my safety (as hilarious as that is) but I doubt it.

What would be different or why would it matter who is black or white? The OP didn't mention his or his wife's nationalities either, be they Americans, Germans, Brazilians or what have you.

They are obviously not approving of interracial marriages. He asked you that question because he suspected you were going to harass or assault that women.

if OP thinks its a racial issue it obviously matters who is black and who is white in their inter-racial couple?>
