Close to the big cities and on ring roads, there will always be real speed limits, and they're frequently controlled. It's only in the more deserted parts where you can still give it the beans 
by the way: the nurburgring nordschleife is officially a public one-way toll road without speed limit. It's not a track!

Close but no cigar.
The official speed limit is 130 clicks in many places.
Where there is no listed speed limit if you are going over 130 clicks and have an accident, even if its not your fault, you are assessed part of the responsibility, financial and points.
Problem these days is that there is so much traffic that you rarely get to drive really fast on the 'bahn. Only at night or very early in the morning is it free for fun driving.
