And just in general will they leave hair around the house?

German shepherds shed twice a year: January through July and August through December.
Seriously, German shepherds are double coated dogs -- meaning that they have a dense fluffy undercoat and longer guard hairs over that. The undercoat is probably what causes most of your dog's shedding, and no matter how much you brush them, it seems like they can always find some more fur to decorate the house with.
Sometimes I wonder if they go out at night and borrow fur from the neighbors' dogs, just to have more to shed! ;-)

Yep, all the German Shepherds I've ever known shed quite a bit. All dogs shed, just like all humans lose hair daily too.
Generally the ones that shed less are the ones that need to go to the groomers for haircuts.

Yes, they do...actually short haired dogs shed just as much if not more than long hair as once their hair reaches a certain length it falls out and is replaced to start the growth over...so quicker to get to the short for replacement

Yes. Most german shepards shed ALOT. Mine would litterally leave balls of fur around when we brushed her.
