In June, courts registered 2,266 corporate insolvency filings, a 15.8% increase over June 2025.<\/p>\n<p>From January to June, Destatis tallies 12,812 filings, 6.7% more than in the same period last year. The last time the half-year total was higher was in 2013, with 13,253 cases.<\/p>\n<p>Filings only appear in the statistics after the first court decision. Destatis notes that actual applications often occur roughly three months earlier.

The decline from the previous month lowers the level, but the level remains above the pre-COVID level.<\/p>\n<p>Steffen M\u00fcller, head of IWH\u2019s insolvency research, notes that after months of record highs, this decline is more of a breather than a sign of relief. Despite early signs of economic recovery, insolvency levels remain high.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:64px;margin-bottom:20px;\">More than 16,000 jobs affected in major insolvencies<\/h2>\n<p>In August, In August, more than 16,000 jobs were affected at the largest 10% of insolvent companies, 21% higher than July\u2019s figure., 21% higher than July\u2019s figure.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to the same month last year, the number rose by 33%. Against the August average from 2016 to 2019, the number of affected employees in this category has doubled.<\/p>\n<p>Fewer cases can still mean more jobs when large employers become insolvent.<\/p>\n<p>The IWH\u2019s early indicators typically precede insolvency trends by two to three months. While June and July saw elevated figures, August showed a decline. Due to the high numbers in the prior two months, the institute expects high insolvency figures again over the next two months.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:64px;margin-bottom:20px;\">Partnerships and corporations do not cover the full picture<\/h2>\n<p>The Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH) tracks insolvencies among partnerships and corporations.

The IWH cases represent roughly two-thirds of official corporate insolvencies.
