for some trains, yes. it's a few euro per reservation, other than night trains - those cost more.
You only have to buy reservations for trains that require it. Most local trains don't, while most high speed trains do require a seat reservation. Prices for night train reservations vary according to class and type of accomodation (reclining chairs and couchettes at the low end, private single rooms at the high end).
How do you know whether a train requires a reservation? Look up the journey on Die Bahn. The journeys with the little red "R" icon are subject to a compulsory reservation.
