This review compiles and analyses the taxonomic and biogeographical information available on soil ciliates from Germany. At least 270 species have been reliably recorded from 20 sites and site groups; 52 are new records from 13 sites studied for the purpose of this paper. At least 14 new species were discovered, of which three are described: Dileptus armatus nov. spec., Holostichides dumonti nov. spec., and Hemisincirra gellerti verrucosa nov. sspec.; four species are redescribed: Pleuroplites australis, Enchelys geleii nov. comb. (basionym: Lagynophrya geleii Foissner, 1981), Plagiocampa ovata, and Haplocaulus terrenus. Of the 643 soil ciliate species known worldwide, almost half occur in Germany because the area is comparatively well-investigated and most soil ciliates are still undescribed. Thus, local a diversity can not be used for estimating global diversity.
