Thomas Mueller gave Germany the lead in the 19th minute with his fifth goal of the tournament, but Uruguayan Edinson Cavani equalized the score nine minutes later.
Uruguay took the lead early in the second half with a strike by Diego Forlan, but Marcell Jansen leveled the score for Germany within six minutes.
The championship game will be played Sunday between Spain and The Netherlands.
