For the record, from roughly 1956 until 2011....Germany ran the draft system for young men. In 2011, Germany moved to the US-type program, where there was enough incentives to entice people.
Is there some wording in the Constitution to bring back the draft? Yes....this is continually brought up.
Is there some manpower issue going on? If you follow the news reports....basically since Covid....there's been lesser numbers, with various discussions on how you can bring in more people, or improve the image of the Bundeswehr.
Oddly, the Bundeswehr has brought in both public and commercial TV units....to show more of a positive image. I'd say in the past 12 months....I've probably watched four shows that talked about the life and mission.
My general gut-feeling (at least within this German discussion) is that money/pay isn't the big attraction....as much as training, adenine-adventure, and some path to early retirement.
