For what its worth, we just got back from a 2 week tour of mostly southwestern Germany with some brief trips into France, Lux and Belgium. We rented a car and drove 2000+ miles. There are certainly times and places for trains, but I wouldn't give up the car if you're looking to cover countryside. It gave us so many options to check out so many different things, get off the beaten path, adjust our schedule, etc. Parking is generally OK, but can get steep if you use a parking garage at a larger chain hotel in a large city. We did the same thing last year in Saxony and had no problems there either. We noticed more speed cameras on this trip in some of the smaller towns which took some extra attention. If you're just looking to hit the major cities (like Berlin or Munich), you can get away without a car and just need to pack light because you'll be dragging your luggage on the train.
