Actually here in Germany it's quite different to the UK, no job advert ever 
says what salary they are going to pay, not even a range.  You have to tell 
them what you are expecting.

Also watch out because when they are interviewing you they will likely ask 
what your current salary is.  Make sure you have a figure in your head for 
when they ask you this question.  DO NOT tell them your real salary because 
it is way lower than someone like you deserves.  By answering this question 
with 25K instead of 15K you will have just earnt yourself an extra 10K per 
year for the rest of your life.  No matter how much you hate lying, you'd be 
really really stupid to tell them the truth, because they are only going to 
pay you the minimum they think they need to.
