Stark broadening parameters of the more prominent visible germanium lines are measured in a 1-eV shock-tube plasma. Estimated accuracies for eight observed Ge II and two Ge I lines are (10-30)%. Ionic results are compared with semiclassical predictions. Agreement with theory is excellent for two of the three observed multiplets, but unaccountably poor for the third. Moreover, widths of the two lines in this third multiplet (5s ²S-5p ²P) are grossly different from one another. Possible sources for this anomaly are discussed.
