Who pays if I lose a case in Germany?

The loser pays the court fees and both sides' statutory lawyer fees under section 91 of the Code of Civil Procedure, so the risk can be calculated in advance from the value of the claim. In first-instance labour court cases each side pays its own lawyer. Legal expenses insurance often covers this risk.
