Well, in fact they are dubbed, not overdubbed*!
Hm... German dubbing isn't too bad (imho the best in the world, because the Germans are not the only one who dub movies). In fact the German dubbing industry (it's a really huge business in Germany) have very good personnel (usually actors) and here we have a big market for it. I don't want to judge whether it is good or not, because I prefer to watch the movies in their original (English) version, but however sometimes I can also enjoy a movie with the German dubbing.
* I don't know whether overdub means that, but do you know that in other countries (usually eastern Europe) they lay only one or two voice-overs on the original sound track? That means, you hear the original English dialogues in the background and in the foreground you have the translated dialogue, usually spoken from one or max. two persons and not "synchronized" to the "lips-movements" of the actors (as in Germany for example)! That's imho really rubbish!
