Harald Bluetooth was king of the Kalmar Union, incorporating Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Germany has no place in this picture.

The Bluetooth protocol was mainly developed by Ericsson employees at Skåne, a part of Sweden that used to be Danish.

Ahem! Jutland is definitely not Germany thank you very much :) Jutland is the part of Denmark connected to Germany yes but it's not Germany. Jutland is the mainland of Denmark whereas Funen and Sealand are the two major islands.
There has been disputes through time as to how much of the most southern part of Jutland was danish or german but in general terms Jutland is most certainly danish.

Oh and the runes are old norse runes and not germanic ones if I'm not mistaken ;)
