Ned and me back in Germany (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emden

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'germany' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'ned and me back' is the wordplay.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'ned'+'me'='nedme'
'nedme' reversed gives 'EMDEN'.

'in' is the link.
