Wave of insolvencies rolls over Germany: August 11th brings shock figures!
On August 11, 2025, a worrying picture emerged in German business life: numerous local courts announced new insolvencies affecting companies from different industries and regions.
If you just look at the recent insolvency reports, you will notice that in Hesse the focus has come to SDI-GmbH and Speakerbus GmbH from Frankfurt. These developments are more than just isolated cases; they show social and economic trends. According to the Statistics from Destatis In July 2025, regular insolvencies in Germany rose by 19.2% compared to the same month last year, reaching the highest growth rate since October 2024. Along with these alarming numbers, regional insolvencies in Rhineland-Palatinate, northern Germany, Berlin and other federal states have also increased significantly.
In Rhineland-Palatinate, for example, Accolis GmbH from Kusel and Bedachungsservice H+B Verwaltungs GmbH from Lohnsfeld were declared bankrupt. In northern Germany, akera technology GmbH in Itzehoe and the hairdresser Jesper-Splinter UG in Neumünster, among others, filed for bankruptcy. These cases are just a few of many that illustrate the hot spots of current insolvency events.
Industry diversity and challenges
The affected companies are located in a wide variety of industries, including construction, food retail, catering and publishing. The current situation shows that the construction industry in particular is under great pressure, which is reflected in an increase in insolvencies. What is particularly striking is that the number of insolvencies in transport and warehousing has the highest frequency with 10.9 cases per 10,000 companies, followed by the construction industry with 9.4 and the hospitality industry with 9.0.
A look at the figures from the first quarter of 2025 makes the situation even clearer: compared to the same quarter last year, the number of corporate bankruptcies increased by 14.8%, which underlines that economic uncertainty continues to play a major role. The Insolvency report from Inda also documents that in the first quarter of 2025, 101 insolvency applications were received from large companies with sales of over 10 million euros. This shows that the crisis affects not only small businesses, but also larger companies.
Outlook and conclusion
The forecasts are not exactly rosy and uncertainties in the economy are increasing. The annual cycle of corporate bankruptcies could rise for the fourth year in a row in 2025, the industry warns. The current insolvency situation raises the question of how companies will deal with the tense economic situation. The need for solutions, not just among the companies affected, is growing. As has often been observed in the past, this year it could prove again that creative ideas and flexible corporate management are in demand, especially in times of crisis.
Information about current insolvencies can be found in the insolvency notices of the respective local courts, which provide detailed insights into the specific cases. The developments in the coming months will undoubtedly be crucial in reshaping the economic landscape in Germany and Hesse.
