Germany is not Hungary. Labour Costs in Germany are higher than in Hungary. So don't expect that the bus tickets are the same price. Hungary is not a good benchmark for Germany.

It is definitely possible to find train tickets for less than 100 EUR between Munich and Berlin. I can point you to what I have written elsewhere:

The strategy to find a "cheap" ticket, for IC or ICE trains, is the same as if you are looking for "cheap" flight tickets. The earlier you book the more chances you have to make a good deal. Moreover, avoid peak times, like Friday evening or Sunday evening. In the past I have made some good deals on Wednesdays ... Flexibility pays off. Also check the DB's search engine for saver fares.

If you travel frequently, you might consider to buy a Bahncard. This entitles you to discounted fares, as well as other advantages.

But it is possible to travel cheaper by train. From Monday to Friday you can travel on a so-called "Quer durchs Land Ticket". And on the weekends you can use a "Schönes Wochenende Ticket". These tickets costs 44 EUR and 42 EUR for one person. If you are more than one person, the price per person is highly digressive. In the most extreme case, if you are 5 and you travel on a weekend, you end up by paying 8.40 EUR per person!

With these tickets you can travel all over Germany in regional and local trains. You cannot use IC, EC, or ICE trains. From Berlin to Munich will take you 10 to 11 hours. That's almost the double of the travel time of an ICE train. But, it's pretty close to the duration of a bus trip.

The price for travel on ICE is about the same as the price of a flight ticket. Air Berlin and Lufthansa can have attractive offers (even for one way flights) on Munich-Hamburg.

With these tickets you can travel all over Germany in regional and local trains. You cannot use IC, EC, or ICE trains. From Munich to Hamburg will take you 12 to 13 hours. That's more than the double of the travel time of an ICE train (< 6 hours). But, it's pretty close to the duration of a bus trip. From Munich to Hamburg by bus you can expect at least 10 or 11 hours. It's more or less 800 kilometers.

Anyway, I wonder if the bus is a solution. The search engine mentioned in another answer does not yield anything for that particular journey. At this time there seems to be no regular bus line between these to cities.

If there was one, it would probably cost more than 20 EUR. For instance, iDBUS, a French company is charging between 45 EUR to 59 EUR for the 800 kilometer trip from Paris to Turin. That seems to be a more reasonable benchmark here.

But then note that I have found ICE tickets for 65 EUR ...
