10. Does a German castle count as 2 tiles for the purposes of scoring a cloister?No, the German castle tile is one tile and counts as one tile for scoring a cloister
9. Does a German castle’s long edge count as 2 tiles for the purposes of barn placement? In other words, is the midpoint of a long edge counted as a corner that only needs 2 other tiles placed in order to build a barn?This question is not yet resolved. Georg Wild and I had different opinions about it. So technically there are no 4 corners - the result of my opinion is NO. Gerorg Wild knows that, but he "feels" that the result will more a YES. So we will talk about it again.
So a complete cloister can only score 8 points if a German Castle is next to it?

Therefore, if there are two regular tiles alongside a German castle, this is not the intersection of four tiles but three tiles. And the CAR says: 'It [the barn] may only be placed on the point of intersection of four land tiles.'
