List of offshore wind farms in Germany

The following is a list of offshore wind farms in Germany, operational within the national maritime boundaries. Germany, along with Denmark and the United Kingdom is a worldwide leader in advancing offshore wind farm technology.

Information about wind farms is gathered and compiled from multiple sources,[1][2] and primarily commercial databases and is current up to July 2015. The name of the wind farm is the name used by the energy company when referring to the farm and is usually related to a shoal or the name of the nearest town on shore.
