They didn't have many- a few colonies on Africa (mainly modern Togo, Cameroon, Namibia and Tanzania), and some islands in the Pacific.

What little they had was taken from them during or after World War I, and given to countries who had been on the Allied side- mainly Britain, France, South Africa, and Japan.

During World War I, most of Germany's colonies were occupied by the Allies, especially Britain, France, South Africa, Australia and Japan.

The Treaty of Versailles officially removed the colonies from Germany's control and assigned them to Allied countries. The newly created League of Nations gave the Allies authority to rule the colonies under a system called "mandates". However, the mandates were not much different than just being colonies, they just happened to be ruled by different countries.

What happened to most African colonies?

After independence, most African colonies were not able to retain the high standard of living that they enjoyed under Colonialism and quickly became poor. If they had remained colonies, this probably wouldn't have happened.
