You might have to add "testing" to:

    deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stretch main

and try -t testing

Raspberry 2/3 usually crashes (freezes) when the CPU load is close to 
100% and/or when you write the SD. A typical case is compiling with -j0. 
That crashes it promptly. But it crashes with certainty when even a 
minimal swapping occur. Using HDD or SSD helped a lot, but still stretch 
was a nightmare. Buster brought a real improvement, almost as stable as 
a PC.
