You probably mean "paragraphs" instead of "parameter".

The paragraph is text mixed with elements. You use pull style
processing (xsl:for-each). Push style processing is much better
suited for processing mixed content.
Declare templates for processing <para> and <ulink>
elements and use xsl:apply-templates to apply them:
<xsl:template match="sect1[@lang='ger']">
  <table ...
    <tr>
      <td>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="para"/>
      </td>
  ...
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="para">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
  <br/><br/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ulink">
  <a href="{@url}">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="count(child::node())=0">
        <xsl:value-of select="@url"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </a>
</xsl:template>

The default templates will take care of copying text through.
