Morphology
The meaning 'a period of instruction in the German language' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'German' (relating to the German language) with 'lesson' (an instructional session). This adjective+noun compositional pattern is a standard, cross-linguistically common construction, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
German lesson is made of two words: German (the language) and lesson (a class). So, it means 'a period of instruction in the German language'.
