From this:

A group of German university professors, angered by the U.S.-British war against Iraq, have launched a campaign to replace many popular English-language words used in Germany with French terms... the four professors declared war on borrowed English terms in German such as "okay," "T-shirt" and "party."

From their list, they seem to be replacing words of Germanic origin with words of French/Latin origin. In only one case (mannequin) have they chosen the Germanic word over the Fr/L word:

Key:
E=English
ME=Middle English
G=German
Fr=French
L=Latin
Gr=Greek
Gmc=proto-Germanic
