Are vignettes needed to drive on German motorways?

You don’t need a vignette in Germany. But for most of the cities you will need an environmental sticker.

This sticker is also needed for foreigners! You can order one before going on your trip and don’t get fined entering the first German city on your trip.

No, you do not need a vignette but might need a environmental sticker in some cities:

Numerous cities have set up or decreed environment zones to reduce pollution in their city centres. Vehicles with particularly bad exhaust values such as old diesel vehicles without particle filter systems and vehicles with petrol engine and an insufficient exhaust cleansing (regulated catalyser) are not allowed to drive in the environment zones.

The zones polluted by emissions are designated with the sign “Umweltzone”. A supplementary sign shows which vehicles with which sticker are allowed to drive in the environment zone. Initially, the driving ban only applied to vehicles without a sticker or with a red sticker. In the meantime, only low-emission vehicles or motor vehicles with special rights may drive into the designated zones.

Unless you’re driving a truck you are free to use the motorway without a vignette.
