Germany does seem to have pipe shops. However, I haven’t found any pipe smokers.
Yes of course are pipe shops here in Germany. There are a few left, smaller and bigger businesses. When you’re visiting Munich don’t forget to drop into Pfeifen Huber and take some of his highly regarded Golden Virginia Flake

But you won’t see a lot pipe smokers smoking in public. It’s n the last two years I have seen only four guys smoking a pipe outside cafés, strolling along or otherwise in this medium sized town i live. But they are there. One must have discovered my junk shop that sometimes offers old pipes. It’s open every Saturday. Last week I discovered a few new old pipes and a pipe bag there. This time really nice ones. I missed to walk over there, and on Sunday they have vanished out of the showcase. „Someone took them out of my arms, still I can feel the thrill of their charms“ to quote a line of the 1920s song „I’ll see you in my Dreams“.
Telescope, have a nice time in Bavaria. Don’t drink to much of that Riesling, though it might be excellent. Riesling really improved over time. In the 1960s my parents called it „suure Pitter“ (sour Peter). It’s much better today with nicely balanced acidic freshness.
