German translation:Am meisten beeindrucken mich Deutschlands wirtschaftliche Stärke/Wirtschaftskraft und Stabilität.
Explanation:
I rephrased your expression a bit, adding "am meisten" ("mainly/most) which makes the expression sound more German-style. "wirtschaftliche Stärke" or "Wirtschaftskraft" you may use alternatively. Both would sound ok.

  -> Thanks!!
disagree  Sprachprof (X): wirtschaftliche Stärke = economical strength, Erfolg = success
3 hrs
  -> Don't you feel sometimes it is more important to grab the meaning of what is said rather than doing a "correct" but inappropriate word-by-word translation?
disagree  Thomas Bollmann: Der Satz ist interpretiert und nicht übersetzt!! Da der Fragesteller aber wohl kein Deutsch kann, hat er es nicht bemerkt.

  -> Perfectly right but aren't we "interpreters", too? See above, I wanted to express the essence in decent German.

Ich bewundere den Erfolg und die Stabilität der deutschen Wirtschaft.


Explanation:
This seems to me a more straightforward translation, no need to add "am meisten", since we don't have any context.
