Most laptop AC Adapters are autoswitching from 110 to 240v. You'll just need the adapter so it works with the german outlet.

It is not the laptop that you are concerned about, but the power adapter. It converts the input power (220 or 110v) to the power that your laptop runs on internally. You will need to replace your power converter with one that accepts the input voltage provided at your location. You can get one from the manufacturer or use a universal after-market converter.

Germany like most of Europe uses 220v, the issue is whether your power adapter is multi switching, most are. Turn the power brick upside down and look at the label, it most likely tells you it is 100-220v in which case it auto senses the input voltage. When you get to Germany find a PC store, take your charger and US cable and ask them for a cable to fit the German power outlet sockets, that is all you need to buy. Here (in Spain) we advise most of our UK, Asian and US clients to just change the cable as the power adaptor does not need to be changed.

No problem - most laptop power adapters can take 220 Volts "as is". All you will need is a new power cord. (That's the cord that runs from the wall outlet to the power adapter. Again, most laptop power adapters have connectors on that end, so replacing the power cord is easy and cheap.) Just read the sticker on the power adapter first: It will clearly state the voltage range
