This list of non-marine molluscs of Germany is a list of the molluscs that live in Germany, excluding the marine (saltwater) species. In other words, it includes the land snails and slugs, the freshwater snails and the freshwater clams and mussels.List of German land and freshwater molluscs including their common names Diskussionsfassung (in Bearbeitung)
