WGeO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. There are two inequivalent W sites. In the first W site, W(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(5), one O(8), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing WO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 13-42°. In the second W site, W(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(6), one O(7), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing WO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 13-42°. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one O(6), one O(7), and one O(8) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one O(2), one O(4), and one O(5) atom. There are eight inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one W(1) and one W(2) atom.

In the eighth O site, O(8) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one W(1) and one Ge(1) atom.
