The phrase "the German Sherlock Holmes" isn't a specific figure of speech itself. However, it does employ a couple of common ones:

Metonymy: This refers to using a related thing to represent something else. Here, "German" is used to represent someone who is similar to Sherlock Holmes but might be a fictional character specific to Germany.

Apposition: This refers to placing two nouns or noun phrases side-by-side to identify or rename each other. In this case, "the German Sherlock Holmes" renames "the German" to a specific kind of detective character.

_____________

Epithet (possible): "German Sherlock Holmes" describes the character by nationality and archetype.

More typical Epithet: "The German Holmes" (shorter, emphasizes detective aspect)
