Yes. The tax treaty would apply in this case and you should only be taxed in Germany as defined by the context of the treaty. in this context, the US is defined as the Contracting State and Germany is the other contracting State since you were a resident of Germany prior to coming to the US.
Since the US is the first-mentioned state, you will not be taxed on the types of income you mentioned above. Doesn't apply to personal income however.
