The URL from Geocities seems to be where the site was first set up and was built inside a person's private web space - the space you are given when you sign up with providers like AOL, Earthlink, Geocities, etc. The drawback is that the address is "hidden" inside of Geocities web space. It also looks like the site has grown to it's size limitations as well.
The "new" address is a direct link to a "commercial" web site ("de" = Germany).
I'm sure that this change will allow the site to grow much larger... and it should make it easier for search engines to find the site.
As there is a notice of the new URL on the Geocities' "Wappenrolle" home page, I would not be surprised to see the Geocities site go down after a while.
