Tim Kleindienst doubled the lead in the 23rd minute, marking his first Germany goal by converting a Robert Andrich shot.
Kai Havertz had two near misses before finally scoring in the 37th minute, finishing off a quick one-two with Florian Wirtz.
Wirtz made it 4-0 early in the second half with a brilliant dipping free-kick that caught Bosnia’s goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj off guard.
Bosnia’s defense was overwhelmed by Germany’s attacking intensity, and Wirtz completed his brace in the 57th minute, tapping in at the far post.
Leroy Sané added a sixth goal in the 66th minute, before Kleindienst sealed the rout with a seventh in the 79th minute.
With 13 points from five matches, Germany’s position at the top of the group is unassailable, while the Netherlands remain in second.
