Is there a German prayer for the dead?
No. There is no specific prayer for the dead in German. However, the main thing you should do is to tell the person in your prayers that they are not alone, and that they will be missed by many people. You can also include any memories or stories that you have about the person who has died.
By turning to prayer and seeking solace in the words of the Bible, we can find peace and healing in the midst of our grief.

German Prayer For The Dead
Selbst wenn wir nur in einer unklaren und finsteren Weise von der Fortdauer der Seele nach ihrer Trennung von dem sterblichen Leibe überzeugt wären, würde sich uns dieser Gedanke doch als Trost darstellen, und sei es auch nur, weil er uns versicherte, daß der Tod nicht das unendliche Nichts bringe.
Wenn wir den Glauben an das ewige Leben verloren haben, so erscheint uns das Todestraktat als eine Appellation an die Sehnsucht und die Liebe zu dem geliebten Menschen.
If you have lost faith in eternal life, then the death tract seems like an appeal to your longing and love for the deceased.
This prayer is not only a comfort when someone dear to you has died, but also a reason to live.
prayer for death of a loved one
Der Glaube an das ewige Leben der Seele heilt unsere Trauer; er lehrt uns hoffen, und jede Hoffnung ist ein Lichtstrahl auf dem dunkeln Grunde unserer Schmerzen.
The belief in eternal life heals our sorrow; it teaches us to hope, and every hope is a light beam on the dark ground of our pain.
short prayer for the dead
Selbst wenn wir nur in einer unklaren und finsteren Weise von der Fortdauer der Seele nach ihrer Trennung von dem sterblichen Leibe überzeugt wären, würde sich uns dieser Gedanke doch als Trost darstellen, und sei es auch nur, weil er uns versicherte, daß der Tod nicht das unendliche Nichts bringe.
Even if we were not convinced of the immortality of the soul, it would still be a consolation to us to believe in a future existence; and even though this belief might only console us by assuring us that death does not end all.
If this belief did nothing more than relieve our minds from anxiety regarding the circumstances of our dear friend’s future happiness or misery, it would still be invaluable to us; nor could we wish it otherwise, seeing how constantly death comes before us as an unwelcome intruder and disturber.
Der Tod fordert uns dazu auf, über den sinnlosen Tod zu trauern, die Leere unseres Daseins zu fühlen und die Welt so zu sehen, wie sie ist. Der Tod gibt uns eine Gelegenheit, unsere Probleme in einem anderen Licht zu sehen und vielleicht auch unseren Glauben an Gott und die Zukunft neu zu bewerten. Der Tod kann gut oder schlecht sein; er kann wünschenswert oder unangenehm erscheinen. Der entscheidende Punkt ist jedoch nicht der Tod – sondern der Glaube. Wenn wir den Glauben an Gott verlieren, dann verlieren wir auch den Sinn des Lebens.
