None, germanium is not a metal. While it has a few of the properties of metals, in the pure form germanium is a brittle crystalline solid that instantly shatters when pressure or any other stress is applied. All metalsin their pure form respond to pressure and stress by deforming or bending not shattering.
Germanium is called either a metalloid or semimetal, never a metal (except by cosmologists, who call all elements beyond helium "metals").
