Aren't there lawyers without cost? (German: Pflichtverteidiger - maybe: assigned counsel). How is a 16 year old supposed to pay for a lawyer?

There are. It's called public defender, but they are often overworked because they don't have sufficient budget. This means they will suggest most of their defendants to take a plea bargin and not take the risk of going to trail.

There are supposed to be (public defenders), but they tend to be wildly underfunded and overworked.
