Pensions from the German government are treated just like US social security payments reported on a SSA 1099. So enter the amount received as a SSA1099 (assuming she lives in the US and not in Germany now). See the US Germany tax treaty https://www.irs.gov/businesses/international-businesses/germany-tax-treaty-documents
