If she's not a German citizen and if Filipinos require a visa to enter the United States, no, she can't enter the United States without a visa.

The answer to your question is: No, she will need a visa.
Marital status and residency are not taken into consideration for visa waiver purposes. All that matters is the current nationality of the individual.
However, those other aspects are taken into consideration when applying for a visa so it would definitely help your case especially if you or she own property in Germany.
Make sure you indicate clearly the purpose of her visit on the application; and the fact that you intend to return back to Germany. The Nonimmigrant Visa for a Fiancé(e) K-1 is the visa type that best fits your situation.

Residency status is not a qualification for the Visa Waiver program. The Visa Waiver program only applies to passport holders from the countries in the program, not residents.
Her approval for entry into the USA is based solely on her nationality as shown in her passport.
But the fact that she has German residency status, plus two dependent children residing in Germany, should be a beneficial aspect when her visa application is considered. If she owns the house they live in, has a reasonable financial situation and no brushes with the law, then getting a visa shouldn't be that difficult.
