Actually, other than the UK or France, Germany got the Marshall money as a loan, which it repaid (at least for the most part). You also have to keep in mind that German patents that were "lost" as a result of WWII had a value several times that of the Marshall funds (which were, as I said, repaid).
The biggest effect of the Marshall plan on the FRG was a psychological one.
