The case caused horror nationwide: Last September, five dead children were discovered in an apartment in Solingen.
The three girls and two boys were between one and a half and eight years old.
Now the public prosecutor in Wuppertal has charged the children's mother with fivefold murder.
This was announced by a spokesman.
The woman's defense attorney had been informed.
According to the results of the investigation, the 27-year-old at the time of the crime first stunned and then suffocated her children.
It has not yet been determined whether the accused had a reduced culpability at the time of the offense, it said.
At first you did not want to be examined by a psychiatrist.
This should be made up for.
Now the Wuppertal regional court has to decide on the admission of the indictment.
The five dead children were discovered on September 3 last year.
Another eleven-year-old son of the woman had survived.
The suspect mother had thrown herself in front of a train in Düsseldorf Central Station, but survived seriously injured.
The arrest warrant for suspected murder had been opened to her in a hospital bedside clinic.
The woman's defense attorney was initially unavailable for comment on Friday.
