Depends on your nationality.

If you're a Turkish or Azerbaijani national, then the answer is that you need a visa.

If not, then you are entitled to visa-free travel to Republic of Cyprus ("the southern part") with your German residence permit (Aufenthaltstitel).

Here's one official source:

ENTRY UNDER THE SCHENGEN VISA AND RESIDENCE PERMITS IN THE EU AND SCHENGEN STATES

Since June 2014 Cyprus accepts a valid Schengen Visa (category C, double or multiple entry) equivalent to its national visa for transit through or intended stay on its territory not exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period.

Third country nationals (non EU)* holders of a valid visa category D or residence permit in the European Union (except the UK and Ireland), in the Schengen countries, have the right to visit Cyprus without an additional visa under the following conditions:

  • have a valid passport or other document provided for travelling abroad;
  • be able to confirm the purpose of travel and accommodation in Cyprus;
  • have sufficient funds for stay and return to the country of permanent residence;
  • be absent from the list of persons prohibited to enter the territory of the Republic of Cyprus. Duration of stay may not exceed 90 days during any 180-day period.
  • There is an exception to the rule, which concerns the citizens of the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan who need to be issued a national Cyprus visa to visit Cyprus.
