The ruling said that there must be the option of registering a gender that is neither male nor female on birth certificates. It makes Germany the first country in Europe to enable parents to designate their intersex offspring as a third gender.
According to media reports, the case was brought by a registered female whose chromosome test confirmed they were neither sex.
The constitutional court in Karlsruhe has now given the government until the end of 2018 to pass a law specifying a category other than male or female. It added that current regulations on civil status were discriminatory against intersex people.
A spokesperson for the German government said it would comply with the ruling.
Intersex people are born with a mixture of male and female sex characteristics. The UN says the condition affects up to 1.7% of the world's population.
