I am also American and have visited a few German saunas when I traveled there. I recommend going on a weekend or an evening, so you get a mix of younger people. Basically you'll go in the doors, pay your entry fee upfront, and get an electronic wristband. Make sure you either take a towel or get a towel from them. Then you go into the locker room, get fully naked (along with lots of other men and women getting fully naked). You store your clothes in a locker that is activated by your wristband. Next, you head for the showers, and take a naked shower with lots of other naked people. Then you are free to go about your business - typically with the towel wrapped around yourself as you walk around, but some people don't. You do have to be naked in the sauna rooms, and sit on the towel. And you have to be naked in the pools. After using a pool or sauna, you shower in a communal shower. Lots of people lounge around on chairs in the nude, either reading or sleeping. When you are done, you take one last shower, head back to the locker room, get dressed, and leave. If you bought any food or items while there, which you charge to your wristband, you pay for that as you leave.
Let me know if you have specific questions.
