Unless you also added new named locations like "@app/de/", I'd expect
that to return HTTP 500.

That's a more specific problem report than "didn't work".

http://nginx.org/r/map

Set a (possibly empty) variable called (say) $path_prefix, and then use
that in your rewrite or proxy_pass line.

Note that using a variable in proxy_pass has other requirements too:

http://nginx.org/r/proxy_pass

Can work, if the shared configuration is truly the same.

I still think that until you demonstrate that your back-end works with
this, the rest is not useful.

Test one thing at a time, and keep the configuration simple.
