The benchmark DAX fell 151 points, or 1.2 percent, to 12,993 after tumbling 1.1 percent the previous day.

Siemens Energy shares declined 2 percent. The German energy company and France's Air Liquide have announced a joint venture for the series production of industrial scale renewable hydrogen electrolyzers in Europe.
