Many people around here know more about Concourses and connections in Calgary than I do, but from a purely logistics standpoint, there is a lot of risk that goes with only one hour between arrival and departure.
10 min delay in YXE then 10 min delay in YYC, it adds up really fast. YXE is fairly straight forward, but YYC right now is one of the worst airports in the country for delay's with regards to slot times and flow control.
Provided everything goes without a hitch, 1hr is plenty of time, but it seems there are always delays in this industry.
One of the bigger delays with overseas flights is a\c positioning. I don't know how you find this stuff out, but it would be worth knowing where your plane to Germany is coming from. Is it there over night? does it arrive well before your departure? or is it on a tight turn from somewhere else?
You really have to weigh the inconvienience of switching times and your itinerary, vs missing a connection etc etc
I hate to sound pessimistic but when it comes to the airline industry it is usually a good idea to hope for the best but plan for the worst.
