As of September 11, 2026, Lars Gindorf is the leading scorer across Germany’s professional leagues for the 2026 calendar year with 19 goals. The Hannover 96 forward has netted 16 times in the 3. Liga and added three more goals after returning to the 2. Bundesliga.
From 3. Liga form to higher-level impact
Gindorf carried his scoring run from the 3. Liga into matches at the higher level, maintaining a steady output after stepping up to the second tier. His total puts him ahead of several well-known strikers competing in Germany.
Most notably, Gindorf has surpassed Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane in the 2026 German professional competitions ranking; Kane has 17 goals so far this year.
The achievement highlights Gindorf’s rapid rise as a finisher and underlines Hannover 96’s reliance on his goals during a season in which he has featured across two divisions.
Statistics for calendar-year scoring often shift quickly, but on the date above Gindorf leads with 19 goals, illustrating his importance to Hannover and his presence on the national scene.
