I have 2 sister sites, one in English (.com) the other German (.de), and both use the same templates which use,
<html lang="en”>
I assume for the sake of search engine results it’s critical the German site use,
<html lang=“de”>
Am I correct?

Yes. And if you have mixed content in a page, the lang=whatever can be applied to nearly any text container within the page.

Everything I have read, the consensus is the main search engines are very
adept at working out the main language of a page or site, even when that
site has mixed languages.
It is considered the polite, appropriate, socially correct and prudent
thing to identify the language. There may be assisted devices and other
situations to benefit from this.
Also, the same for identifying links whose target language is different
than the link page

Ok. Since I’m using a single CMS installation to manage both sites and as I said each site shares templates I was initially concerned that I would need to duplicate all the templates, one for each site. Then I had a moment of duh! and realized I can simply create a dynamic field for
<html lang="en”>
and change it from within the CMS for each site.
Thanks guys.
