Narrow gauge HOe is wider than standard gauge N equipment, so be sure to leave sufficient space between the tracks, maybe 1.5"-2" between centers, but otherwise designing the plan in N shouldn't present too many problems, especially if you're planning on using N scale off-the-shelf track for your HOe project.

That depends on what kind of motive power you're planning to run. Some of those German tramways ran articulateds and many-coupled rigid-frame steam. Those locos would require a much larger curve radius than my 762mm gauge prototypes (which ran miniscule steam and 4-wheel diesel 'critters.')
On the other hand, if you're going to confine yourself to six-wheel teakettles and short cars, you could probably get away with N-scale curves (and about 80% of HO standard gauge clearances.)
