how can one tire fit 3 different rim size. I need a 700 X 25 but there is no place to select size and yet the description says 23,25,28..

The "700" is the diameter which all three are....The "25 -28" refers to the width of the rim. This is a very small difference which the tire can expand to accommodate.

Are these tires actually manufactured in Germany?

Yes, the are manufactured in Germany. Thank you.

is this the folding tire?

Yes, they come shipped in a small box. I think they are called "Kevlar bead"
