Fachidiot seems exactly right, but I'm pretty sure the word I was looking for is English, not German.

Wonk is pretty good, but not quite it.

I think I'm looking for something that has a connotation somewhere between "wonk" and "philistine."

Like I said, maybe it doesn't even exist.

Well fuck you then!!
