Hi, I am a EU citizen, who wants to travel with the German Rail Pass from Hamburg to München with the ÖBB Nightjet.
The two companies co-operate, but how much do I save on my reservation for a sleeper? Do I only pay for the reservation of the bed or is it more expensive? Anyone with experience? Thanks in advance!

Has been asked&answered a few times on comunity.eurail.com, works also for IR and is since some monthes much more active as this forum.
Look search for seewulf and follow his advice.
From what I got, it is then a fixed surcharge (about 15€/seat, 30 for Liege or >50-60 for those sleepers, which are often very hard to get due to demand. But normal NJ prices vary with day of week and demand. I have however also noted that on some days (but from Paris) there were NO offers for Passholders but still & very expensive places for normal tickets.
If you are german and specific railfan (unlikely then to use this site) post in /de/ on drehscheibe-online-there sit the real experts in any tiny improbably prinzipienreiterei case for DB and all its german tickets.

Book the reservation via ÖBB (Austrian railways). The how to is explained via the link bellow.
Seat | 2nd class €14
Couchette 6 | 6-berth-compartment | 2nd class €34
Couchette 4 | 4-berth-compartment | 2nd class €44
Sleeper 3 | 3-bed-compartment | private washing facility | 2nd class €54
