As long as the boat you enter/control is less than 15 hp and not bigger than 20 meters....you don't have to have a license. I should also note....the 'boat-captain' has to be a minimum of 16 years old, and by German law....is supposed be of sound mind, body and soul (yeah, they actually write soul into the law text).
After that point (the bigger engine or longer boat), you need the state license (the inland boat pilot's license).
Typically, the course is two days, and you get a 30-question multiple choice quiz to pass (you can get prior to the test....the test-bank of 300-odd questions that they will draw the quiz from). So it's not that hard or difficult.
A difference between the regular boats and sail boat? Yes, so it's a different license.
