The motivation letter is the heart of your application.

One page, 4–5 paragraphs. Don't repeat your CV — explain your reasons.
Be concrete: instead of "I like software", write "in project X I did Y".
Research the university: name a specific course, lab or professor ([WARUM_DIESE_UNI]).
For English-taught programmes, use the English version above.
Avoid clichés; write in your own voice.
Fill every [BRACKET] and remove the brackets.
