If she has an RTD (Refugee Travel Document) she can travel to Germany without visa.

In case she has not traveled yet, I would recommend checking the website of the German Embassy in Washington, D.C.
The USCIS travel document might very well be sufficient to reenter the United States, but I still believe she needs to secure a visa for Germany.
Even folks who hold a U.S. Green Card and want to travel to Germany need a visa for as long as their country of citizenship is not visa exempt to enter Germany/Schengen Countries.

Yes, you can use an RTD and no, a visa on the RTD is NOT required for Germany. Check this link : http://www.germany.info/relaunch/info/missions/consulates/chicago/visachicago.html
