Not only steric shielding but also resonance with a delocalized π‐electron system can help to stabilize nonclassical multiple bonds. Thus, despite high steric demands, 15 C atoms and the Ge atom of the title compound 1 lie nearly in the same plane. The experimental finding is in agreement with the result of a MNDO calculation.
