Two multituberculate molars from the Kimmeridgian of the Langenberg Quarry near Goslar (Lower Saxony, Germany) represent the first Jurassic mammals from Germany. An upper M1 with cusp formula 5L/4B is characterized by strongly ornamented enamel and is assigned to Teutonodon langenbergensis gen. et sp. n. within the plagiaulacid line. A second specimen preserving two large and one small cusp is interpreted as a lingual fragment of an eobaatarid m1. It extends the stratigraphic range of Eobaataridae from the Early Cretaceous to the Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) The new findings expand the geographic range of multituberculates to Central Europe. Key words: Eobaatarid
