Germany will play Ukraine at the Max-Morlock-Stadion in Nürnberg on June 3 and Greece at the Borussia-Park in Mönchengladbach on June 7.
Both opponents are currently playing for a place in the European Championship. Ukraine will face Bosnia-Herzegovina in the semifinals of the playoffs on Thursday, while Greece will play Kazakhstan.
"We have to prepare for different styles and systems of play with a view to the European Championship and our group opponents," said Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann.
"Ukraine and Greece are two combative, passionate teams - we've had our difficulties with opponents like that recently. That's why these two teams are exactly the right tests for us after the upcoming clashes with France and the Netherlands."
In their two games this month, Germany face France (Saturday) and the Netherlands (Tuesday).
