If I understand the current laws, I believe that both parents have to agree when children are leaving the country or else they will not be allowed to leave at the airport. You will need to get this resolved prior to leaving by obtaining a note from your husband properly signed and notarized (or the equivalent) in Germany to avoid problems at the airport with immigration.
