not everywhere, but by default there is just a recommended speed (~80mph).
highways, or autobahn, in Germany have no speed limits Not true. Some sections of the autobahn, I believe 3/4, have what is considered lifted restriction areas. This means limitations on passing, speed, Ect.. Even driving in a no limit zone you are recommended to not exceed 130KPH(81MPH). In certain cases where car crashes happen and fatalities are the result they will deem a driver in excess of the recommended speed at fault. The Transportpolizei will also ticket you if you are not driving within the limitations of certain circumstances like weather and vehicle type. Although they are generally lenient, they will take action if they feel you are endangering your life or the lives of those around you. I have driven extensively throughout Europe and lived in Germany for 3 years. There certainly are speed limits in Germany. I got two speeding tickets to prove it. The autobahn does not have a maximum speed but they do have a minimum speed. I can't remember if the minimum speed is 60 KPH or 100 KPH but every other road, other than the autobahn, has a maximum speed limit.

i recently read you are allowed 5 mph over or under the posted speed limit. and also that when you are legally passing a vehical you must got 10mph faster then the car you are trying to pass. is this true???
Everywhere! Autobahn is merely the German word for "freeway". The common misconception is that it's only one specific street/road, which is not true -- it is the freeways system that spans throughout the country.
Germany was forced to pay the allied powers and accept blame for the war. (APEX)
The first highway in the world is considered to be the Great North Road in the United Kingdom, which was constructed during the Roman era, around 43 AD. It connected London to York and facilitated trade and military movement. However, if referring to a more modern context, the Germany Autobahn, established in the 1920s, is often cited as one of the first true highways designed for high-speed travel.
