Nice sharing
Keep it up

Tuition fees at German universities are controversial since they were brought in in 2005.
Many students demonstrate and strike, because they do not want education to be determined by the parent's budget (at last there was a big education strike at many universities in the end of 2009).
So the topic 'tuition fees' is still highly discussed in Germany.

Because of that and because of the changing governments in the different states, there are still changes in the amount they need to be payed, in which state they need to be payed and even by whom they need to be payed.

See below the current list of states that urge tuition fees:

Hamburg
Bavaria
Baden-Wuerttemberg
Lower Saxony
Northrhine-Westfalia (The government of Northrhine-Westfalia plans to drop the tuition fees by the end of 2011)

Important to know is, that (as Pakistani said) other fees have to be payed in every state:

Apart from registration fees, there are social contributions every student has to pay (In the states without tuition fees as well!)
The amount of the social contribution ranges between about 60 and 250 Euros per semester.
The more expensive fees usually include a ticket for public transport.

The other states do not urge general tuition fees, but you need to be attentive, because you may have to pay fees if you want to start your second studies or if you exceed the standard course duration.
(Also valid for states in which you have to pay general tuition fees. These are usually more expensive when you fit into one of the above cases).
