ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

   
      As previously reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed
March 6, 1997, which is hereby amended, German American Bancorp (the
"Registrant") on March 4, 1997, completed its acquisition by merger
(the "Merger") of Peoples Bancorp of Washington, an Indiana
corporation ("Peoples") and thereby acquired its banking subsidiary,
The Peoples National Bank and Trust Company of Washington ("Peoples
Bank"), headquartered in Washington, Indiana.  In connection with
the Merger, the Registrant issued approximately 615,417 shares of
its common stock to the former shareholders of Peoples.  

    

      In connection with the Merger, the Registrant caused its
subsidiary, The Union Bank, Loogootee, Indiana, to merge with and
into Peoples Bank.  Peoples Bank will continue its banking business
and that of The Union Bank as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Registrant.

      The amount of the Merger consideration was determined by arms-
length negotiations between the Registrant and Peoples.  Peoples
reported net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 of
$829,000, and reported total assets of $91,937,000 and total
shareholders' equity of $9,452,000 at December 31, 1996.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.  

   
      (a)  Financial statements of business acquired.  The
consolidated balance sheets of Peoples Bancorp of Washington as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements
of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the years in the three years ended December 31, 1996, together
with the accompanying notes, and the report of independent

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



  Board of Directors and Shareholders
  Peoples Bancorp of Washington
  Washington, Indiana


  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
  Peoples Bancorp of Washington as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
  the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
  shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three
  year period ended December 31, 1996.  These financial statements are
  the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is
  to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
  audits.

  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
  standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
  to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
  are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
  test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
  financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
  principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
  as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
  believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
  above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
  of Peoples Bancorp of Washington as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
  the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years
  in the three year period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with
  generally accepted accounting principles.

                     PEOPLES BANCORP OF WASHINGTON
               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business:  The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Peoples Bancorp of Washington ("Bancorp") and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples National Bank and Trust Company
("Bank") and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Investment
Center (PIC).  Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated.  The Bank is engaged in the
business of commercial and retail banking and trust services, with
operations conducted through its main office and 3 branches located in
Daviess County, Indiana.  The majority of the Bancorp s income is
derived from commercial and retail business lending activities and
investments.  Although the overall loan portfolio is diversified, the
repayment of existing borrower obligations is highly dependent on the
economy of Daviess County and on the agricultural industry.  The
majority of the Bancorp's loans are secured by specific items of
collateral including business assets, real property and consumer assets.
PIC receives commission income from the sale of non- deposit investment
products.

Use of Estimates:  Management must make estimates and assumptions in
preparing financial statements that affect the amounts reported therein
and the disclosures provided.  These estimates and assumptions may
change in the future and future results could differ.  Estimates that
are more susceptible to change in the near term include the allowance
for loan losses and fair values of certain securities.

Securities:  The Bancorp classifies securities into held to maturity and
available for sale categories.  Held to maturity securities are those
which the Bancorp has the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity, and are reported at amortized cost.  Available for sale
securities are those which the Bancorp may decide to sell if needed for
liquidity, asset-liability management, or other reasons. Available for
sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or
losses included as a separate component of equity, net of tax.

Realized gains or losses are determined based on the amortized cost of
the specific security sold.  Interest and dividend income, adjusted by
amortization of purchase premium or discount, is included in earnings.

Loans:  Interest on real estate, commercial and consumer loans is
accrued over the term of the loans based on the principal outstanding.
The recognition of interest income is discontinued when, in management's
judgment, the interest will not be collectible in the normal course of
business.  The Bancorp defers loan fees net of certain direct loan
origination costs.  The net amount deferred is reported in the balance
sheet as part of loans and is recognized into interest income over the
term of the loan using a method which approximates a level yield.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses:  The balance in the allowance and the amount
of the annual provision charged to expense are judgmentally determined
based upon a number of factors.  Estimating the risk of loss and the
amount of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective. Accordingly, the
allowance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to
cover losses that are currently anticipated based on past loss
experience, general economic conditions, information about specific
borrower situations, including their financial position and collateral
values, and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over
time.  While management may periodically allocate portions of the
allowance for specific problem loan situations, including impaired loans
discussed below, the whole allowance is available for any loan losses
that occur.  Increases to the allowance are recorded by a provision for
possible loan losses charged to expense.  A loan is charged off by
management as a loss when deemed uncollectible, although collection
efforts continue and future recoveries may occur.

Loans are considered impaired if full principal or interest payments are
not anticipated.  Impaired loans are carried at the present value of
expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or
at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired
loans.  The carrying value of impaired loans is periodically adjusted to
reflect cash payments, revised estimates of future cash flows, and
increases in the present value of expected cash flows due to the passage
of time.  Cash payments representing interest income are reported as
such and other cash payments are reported as reductions in carrying
value.  Increases or decreases in carrying value due to changes in
estimates of future payments or the passage of time are reported as
reductions or increases in the provision for loan losses.  In general,
loans classified as doubtful or loss are considered impaired while loans
classified as substandard are individually evaluated for impairment.
Depending on the relative size of the credit relationship, late or
insufficient payments of 30 to 90 days will cause management to
reevaluate the credit under its normal evaluation procedures.

Premises, Furniture and Equipment:  Premises, furniture and equipment
are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is
computed, principally, using the straight line method for premises and
the declining-balance method for furniture and equipment based on the
estimated useful lives of the assets.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Other Real Estate:  Real estate acquired through foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure is recorded at the lower of
cost (fair value at date of foreclosure) or fair value less estimated
selling costs.  Expenses incurred in carrying other real estate are
charged to operations as incurred.

Income Taxes:  Income tax expense is the sum of the current year income
tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and
liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted
tax rates.  A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Statement of Cash Flows:  For purposes of this statement, cash and cash
equivalents is defined to include cash on hand and amounts due from
other banks.  The Bancorp reports net cash flows for customer loan
transactions, deposit transactions, deposits made with other financial
institutions and short-term borrowings.

Financial Statement Presentation:  Certain items in the 1995 financial
statements have been reclassified to correspond with the 1996
presentations.

NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Bank has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all employees with benefits based on years of service and
compensation prior to retirement.  The Bank's funding policy is to
contribute the minimum amount required by applicable IRS regulations.
Plan assets consist primarily of U.S. Treasury bonds, corporate bonds
and other various marketable equity securities.

The following sets forth the Plan's funded status and amount recognized
in the balance sheet at December 31 (amounts computed as of November
30th for 1996 and 1995):

The Bank has a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan in which
substantially all employees may participate.  The Bank matches
employees' contributions at the rate of 50 percent on the first 8
percent of participant's salary contributions.  The Bank's total 401(k)
contributions were $25,210, $20,168 and $21,266 for 1996, 1995 and 1994.

NOTE 11 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by
federal banking agencies.  Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt
corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets,
liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under
regulatory accounting practices.  Capital amounts and classifications
are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors, and the regulators can
lower classifications in certain cases.  Failure to meet various capital
requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct
material effect on the financial statements.

The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications,
including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized,
although these terms are not used to represent overall financial
condition.  If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required
to accept brokered deposits.  If undercapitalized, capital distributions
are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital
restoration are required.  The minimum requirements are:

                         Capital to Risk-
                         Weighted Assets

NOTE 12 -  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There are various contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the
financial statements, including claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, after
consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these
matters is not expected to have a material effect on financial condition
or results of operations.

In the ordinary course of business, the Bancorp has loans, commitments
and contingent liabilities, such as guarantees and commitments to extend
credit, which are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.
Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for commitments to make loans and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of
those instruments.  The Bancorp uses the same credit policy to make such
commitments as it uses for on-balance sheet items.

At December 31, off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract
amount represents credit risk are summarized as follows:

                                       1996      1995
                                       ----      ----
     Commitments to extend credit    $5,994    $8,435
     Standby letters of credit          338       268

The commitments to extend credit are predominantly variable rate
agreements, the majority of which are available balances on commercial
and consumer lines of credit.  Since many commitments to make loans
expire without being used, the amount does not necessarily represent
future cash commitments.  Collateral obtained upon exercise of the
commitment is determined using management's credit evaluation of the
borrower, and may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, land
and other items.

The Bancorp leases branch facilities and equipment under operating
leases expiring in various years through 1999.  Lease rental expense was
$21,073, $20,773, and $19,132 for 1996, 1995 and 1994.

The cash balance required to be maintained on hand or on deposit with
the Federal Reserve was $558,000 and $474,000 at December 31, 1996 and
1995.  These reserves do not earn interest.

NOTE 13 - PER SHARE DATA

In June 1995, the shareholders approved an increase in authorized common
stock from 400,000 shares to 1,200,000 shares.  Also, in June 1995, the
Board of Directors authorized a 3-for-1 stock split effected in the form
of a stock dividend.  Earnings and dividend per share amounts have been
retroactively restated for the stock split.  The weighted-average number
of shares used in calculating earnings and dividends per share amounts
was 593,334 for 1996, 1995 and 1994.

NOTE 15 - PENDING ACCOUNTING CHANGE

Financial Accounting Standard No. 125, (Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities), was
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in 1996.  It revises
the accounting for transfers of financial assets, such as loans and
securities, and for distinguishing between sales and secured borrowings.
It is effective for some transactions in 1997 and others in 1998.
Management does not believe the effect of adopting this standard will
have a material effect on the Bancorp's financial position or results of
operations.

NOTE 16 -  PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF THE BANCORP

On September 27, 1996 the Bancorp entered into a definitive agreement to
merge with German American Bancorp.  Pursuant to the agreement, each
shareholder of the Bancorp's common stock would exchange their stock in
the Bancorp for a specified number of shares of German American Bancorp
common stock.  The exchange ratio will be determined based upon the
average price of German American Bancorp's common stock during the
period prior to the effective date of the merger. Consummation of the
merger requires the approval of Bancorp shareholders and various
regulatory agencies.  Regulatory approval has been received and a
shareholders meeting will take place in February, 1997 to solicit
shareholder approval.

                        ------------------------
       GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP AND PEOPLES BANCORP OF WASHINGTON
       ---------------------------------------------------------

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 1996, and the pro forma condensed consolidated
statements of income for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1996, give effect to the Merger based on the
historical consolidated financial statements of German American Bancorp,
Peoples Bancorp of Washington and their subsidiaries under the
assumptions and adjustments set forth below and in the accompanying
notes to the pro forma financial statements.

     The Peoples Bancorp of Washington Merger will be accounted for as a
pooling of interests and, therefore, is included in the pro forma
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, as if the
transaction had become effective on such date, giving effect to the pro
forma adjustments described therein.  The pro forma condensed
consolidated statements of income for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1996 also include the historical
statements of income of German American Bancorp and Peoples Bancorp of
Washington as if the transaction had become effective at the beginning
of the periods presented, giving effect to the pro forma adjustments
described therein.

     The pro forma financial statements have been prepared by management
based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of German
American Bancorp, Peoples Bancorp of Washington and their subsidiaries.
These pro forma statements may not be indicative of the results that
actually would have occurred if the Merger had been in effect on the
dates indicated or which may be obtained in the future.
