The crystal structures of two new quaternary alumogermanides have been determined from X-ray single crystal and powder diffraction data. Er 2 CoAl 4 Ge 2 crystallizes with a Tb 2 NiAl 4 Ge 2 -type structure: space group I4/mmm, Pearson symbol tI18, cell parameters a = 4.0970(6), c = 19.343(4) Å, R1 = 0.0492, wR2 = 0.1195, Goof = 1.115, whereas the structure of ErNiAl 4 Ge 2 adopts the YNiAl 4 Ge 2 type: space group R   m, Pearson symbol hR24, cell parameters a = 4.07160(8), c = 30.7027(9)
