The German alphabet is the same as the English alphabet. There are three special characters which are not actually different letters, they only have an umlaut and the "S-Zett" These are:

ä which can also be written as ae

ö which can also be written as oe

ü which can also be written as ue

ß which can be written as ss, however this would not be technically correct. ß is a lower case letter only. It never appears at the beginning of a word.

When children in Germany learn the alphabet, they also learn it with 26 letters. No one would include the above letters when reciting the alphabet in German.
