Marwa Sherbini, 31, was stabbed 18 times by Axel W, who is now under arrest in Dresden for suspected murder.
Husband Elwi Okaz is also in a critical condition in hospital, after being injured as he tried to save his wife.
Ms Sherbini had sued her killer after he called her a "terrorist" because of her headscarf.
The case has attracted much attention in Egypt and the Muslim world.
German prosecutors have said the 28-year-old attacker, identified only as Axel W, was driven by a deep hatred of foreigners and Muslims.
'Martyr'
Medics were unable to save Ms Sherbini who was three months pregnant with her second child. Her three-year-old son was with the family in court when she was killed.
Axel W and Ms Sherbini and family were in court for his appeal against a fine of 750 euros ($1,050) for insulting her in 2008, apparently because she was wearing the Muslim headscarf or Hijab.
Newspapers in Egypt have expressed outrage at the case, asking how it was allowed to happen and dubbing Ms Sherbini "the martyr of the Hijab".
Senior Egyptian officials and German diplomatic staff attended the funeral in Alexandria along with hundreds of mourners.
Media reports say Mr Okaz was injured both by the attacker and when a policeman opened fire in the courtroom.

A spin to fit Muslim needs. Marwa and Alex (Russian) got into an argument on the playground because she asked him to remove his child from the swing and let her child play. In the ensuing argument he called her a Muslim terrorist, etc. However, he did not initiate the verbal attack until she requested or demanded the swing. He is clearly unbalanced and the excessive fine angered him even more. Sad for all parties, but not a racist based attack. She is dead, but not a headscarf martyr. Maybe a swing set martyr. It is interesting to see the way the reporting of this incident has taken on religious overtones and has been reported to support the wearing of headdress which has been a legal issue in many non_Muslim countries.
