Hi,
Here's a link to the valid german flight manual:
http://www.flugsportzentrum-
tirol.at/fileadmin/user_flugverein/FZT/Segelflug/WAWA/Handbue
cher/ASK_D-2347.pdf

The words in german are "Neben Trudeln können folgende
Kunstflug-Figuren geflogen werden:"

To me it is clear, both from german- and english manuals that
spinning is allowed.
