The Ifo institute's business climate index sank to 87.0 in July from 88.6 in June amid increasing pessimism about the performance of Europe's largest economy.

The benchmark DAX was down 244 points, or 1.3 percent, at 18,143 after losing 0.9 percent in the previous session.

Semiconductor parts maker Aixtron AG fell 2.6 percent after revising down the annual revenue outlook for the third quarter.

Agriculture group BayWa rallied 2.7 percent on reports that Swiss energy investor Energy Infrastructure Partners (EIP) is seeking to increase its stake in the company's renewable energy unit.

Vossloh, an international technology group focused on rail products including switches, signals and crossings, rose over 2 percent after reporting a rise in first-half net income.
