1. Change your password! Since you already have done this, just at
2. ask Google support, if Google sent you this mail!

From where did you get it? What should it be good for?

Assuming it should be the real IP, what do you want to do?

Do you want to press charges against somebody behind an IP, who perhaps
accidentally fall onto the keyboard, so that by random your address and
password was typed?

Quite rightly German judiciary would give you a kick in the pants.

Btw. you didn't mention if you are using 2-step verification. If not,
why should have Google blocked the login attempt? Do you still have got
the original mail?
