The St. Georg hospital in Leipzig said Tuesday the 56-year-old man, whose name has not been released, died overnight of the infection. It released no further details.
The man tested positive for Ebola Oct. 6 and arrived in Leipzig for treatment on Oct. 9 where he was put into a special isolation.
The man was the third Ebola patient to be flown to Germany for treatment.
The first patient, a Senegalese man infected with Ebola while working for the World Health Organization in Sierra Leone was brought to a Hamburg hospital in late August for treatment. The man was released Oct. 3 after recovering and returned to his home country, the hospital said.
Another patient, a Ugandan man who worked for an Italian aid group in West Africa, is undergoing treatment in a Frankfurt hospital.
