Diciamo che sono americano-tedesco e prenoto un volo diretto dalla Germania agli USA, quale passaporto devo utilizzare? Per come lo intendo io come spiegato sopra, tedesco, mentre esco, e americano, mentre entro. Tuttavia, prenotare un volo diretto significa utilizzare un passaporto (un biglietto). Cosa mi manca? 🙂

This is about entering the countries, booking the ticket is independent of that.
Huh? What does that have to do with booking tickets? I would say nothing, the Hinweis is only for going through border control… they don’t even look at tickets.
I think I saw somewhere (I can’t remember where) to use the American passport for the Germany to USA leg when you check in and use your German passport for the return (USA to Germany)? Obviously use of either home countries passport at passport checks so you can enter visa free as already explained in the screenshot posted. I’m not sure if I remember the passport usage for flights and check-in right though.
When flying to the US give the airline your US passport details, same for Germany – that way entry checks are simplified (otherwise you’d need an ESTA to check in to your flight). (For third countries use the passport that grants you the easiest / best visa or entry).
At border control use the passport of the country you’re entering. You can also hand over both passports but that’ll probably just waste time.
You can book whatever you want, it doesn’t change anything. The airline just wants to see that you have a valid travel document, they really don’t care which one.
The German text you posted isn’t a German thing; it’s pretty universal. American border control wants to see your American passport; German border control wants to see your German one. Canadian border control wants to see your Canadian one, and so forth.

This text says that you should use the passport of the country which borders you are crossing. In your example:
* entering/leaving USA: show your US passport
* entering/leaving Germany: show your German passport
This isn’t about booking tickets: it’s about which passport you need to show to immigration officials.
You will need to take both passports with you. When leaving Germany you present your German passport. When arriving in the US, you present your US passport. Then, on the return journey, when leaving the US you present your US passport and when entering Germany you present your German passport.
It’s a general requirement for citizens of multiple countries: whenever you leave or enter a country of which you are a citizen, you use the passport of that country. Also, when you are in a country of which you are a citizen, your other citizenship basically doesn’t count: when in Germany you can’t get help from the US embassy; and when in the US you csn’t get help from the German embassy.
When showing a passport together with your ticket in order to check in or board, all they’re doing is checking that you are the person named on the ticket. Immigration officials aren’t worried about your ticket, they only need to see your passport.
You can also just ask the customs agent.
