dns proxy region

context:
i was adding a sub domain and noticed that requests took around 500ms using proxied dns compared to 20ms when using a proxy status of dns only.
visiting domain/cdn-cgi/trace showed a colo somewhere in the us.
My origin is located in Nürnberg (Hetzner) and i'm located in germany aswell.

Does anyone know why or how this can happen?
