I'm wondering about the cultural practice in Germany. Specifically, I want to know what the common response or expression is when someone sneezes in public or around others.

It is derived from a combination of two German words: "gesund" and "-heit".

The suffix "-heit" is akin to "-hood" in English, denoting a state or condition.
