I've never lived in Germany, only visited as a tourist a few times to several different cities.

I've never had to sign in the last couple of years when using my credit card. Fewer smaller shops would take it than in the UK, but otherwise I never noticed any difference.

It comes down to the card, not store. Many German cards require you to sign (actually stores bypass the card entirely and just use it to read your account number and make you sign a SEPA direct debit mandate).
