Restaurant staff in Germany (and elsewhere in Europe) are typically paid a higher base wage than their counterparts in the U.S. and Canada, and restaurant prices are "endprices," set to provide enough profit to pay those wages.
However, with increased international tourism, the notion that tips are not necessary is fading away. Still, tipping is much more modest than in North America. In Germany, it's accepted to round up the price on the bill (NEVER a "check") to the next Euro or so. If the check is €12,45, €13 is good; if it's €12,95, €14 will be appreciated.
Also, each waitperson carries a wallet with money and will make change right at the table if you're paying in cash. If you're presented with the bill above and you hand it back with a €20 note, you could say, "Make it 13 (or 14)," which would tell the server that you're giving them a tip. That is a more accepted way of giving a tip than leaving money on the table.
It's important to know that in many parts of Germany and Austria, if you hand the bill and money to the server and say, "Danke," which is German for "thank you," you're essentially saying "Keep the change." While it's nice to try to use some of the native language when visiting Another Country, this could result in you leaving a much larger tip than you intended.
