While the German social systems allow everyone a reasonably decent living from social welfare, bigger cities such as Berlin or Hamburg have their share of beggars and homeless on the streets. Those people are harmless and closely watched by the police.
Especially in the vicinity of train stations or in growded pedestrian zones you should be aware of pickpockets. Again, there is nothing extraordinary, and common traveller's sense will suffice.
