This will be my first time writing a letter to a foreign country and I don't know how to go about sending it. Am I supposed to just write a letter and drop it in the mailbox and expect the letter to arrive to my penpal? or is it more complicated than that?

Yes, just like that. You must stick a stamp for overseas letters on it and to make it easier you can stick a "Par Avion" (air mail) sticker too and write the address with GERMANY underneath.
Then drop it in the appropriate letterbox (the air mail one). It will arrive. :-)
Thank you so much
You should also write a D- in front of the postsl code. (i.e. D-22453 Hamburg). The D stands for Deutschland and makes it easier in the post to be sorted in the right pile.
