In modern German Donnerstag translates as Thursday. It translates literally as day of thunder.
It is however derived from the word Donar, "the thunderer" (Donar's day), the Germanic god of thunder and storms. Donar was the Germanic equivalent of Thor.
In English the day is named after Thor and in German after Donar.

Answer
The same meaning like in English.
Donar (Old German)
Thor (Old Norse)
Dunor (Old English) --> hear the similarity to 'thunder'
It's always the god of thunder lightning, storms.
Thursday = Thor's day
Donnerstag= Donar's Tag
(Tag=day)
