I never order tap water but I thought, restaurants have to give it for free?

Not in Germany they don't! They can and will refuse to serve it at all. And the cheapest drink on the menu is often sweet soda, instead of something healthy.

I knew a guy back in the days who always ordered "Hahnenwasser" as he called it and it was free. Maybe this changed or it's regional. I know the cheapest drink has to be without alcohol and I'm pretty sure water is never more expensive than soda

Hahnenwasser literally means tap water. The tap is called "Hahn".

I know, it's just that most other people call it Leitungswasser

That's a north/south difference in German. Leitungswasser in the Saupreisn areas, Hahnenwasser in the Bergjuden/Schluchtenscheißer regions.
