Okay, much better now :-)

"security" still fails because you did not commented out...

Clean your local apt cache:

apt-get clean

> deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main 
> deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy non-free 
> deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

Then, put these two lines *as is* in your "sources.list":

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
#deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

Finally, refresh your repo cache (apt-get update) and resend the output.
