This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the status and development trends of underground disposal of hazardous wastes in Germany. First, the legal bases for underground waste disposal in Germany are presented. Then, the waste properties and quantities as well as safety concepts recommended for the underground disposal of non-radioactive wastes are explained. The disposal of wastes in underground openings and the utilisation of non-mining wastes as backfill in mines are treated separately. In addition, the most important features of these systems are explained. The final disposal of radioactive wastes in Germany is also discussed. Finally, the future of underground hazardous waste disposal in Germany is considered.
