Jugendherbergen (Youth Hostels) are everywhere in Germany, making travel affordable even in expensive cities especially if you're under 28 and/or don't mind sharing a room.
The same might apply in other countries, I wouldn't know. Except in France where I know it's not the case because they are sadly underfunded.
I rarely hear people around me say that they have traveled to Germany. Maybe it's because Germany is not as popular as Italy and France in terms of reputation. In my stereotypes, it seems that Germany doesn't have anything else attractive except its industry.
Industry is irrelevant for tourism. No, Germany absolutely has beautiful towns and landscapes, although it's not like the countries you mentioned where almost every place in a popular region meets that definition. That's where travel blogs and guides come in handy to find the places worth visiting.
Of course, I like Germany very much. My car is a German Mercedes-Benz, and my coffee grinder is a German Comandante. Many of my things are from Germany. However, I have never been to Germany.
