When Austria-Hungary was threatening to invade Serbia, the leadership of the German Empire favored such an attack but did not want it to lead to a general European war. When AH did, indeed, attack Serbia and the Russian Empire responded by declaring war on AH, Germany responded by declaring war on Russia. Within days, Germany also declared war on France and Belgium.
It does not seem that the German Empire made much effort to remain neutral.

No, Germany did not try to remain neutral during World War 1. It was one of the Central Powers and actively engaged in the war. Germany's alliance with Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Empire led to its involvement in the conflict.
