Bastian Schweinsteiger will start his first match at Euro 2016 after being passed fit for Germany's semi-final clash with France.
The Manchester United midfielder replaces Sami Khedira in midfield, with Julian Draxler and Emre Can also coming into the starting XI.
Mario Gomez and Mats Hummels join Khedira on the sidelines, with the former out of the tournament through injury while the new Bayern Munich defender is suspended.
Hosts France, meanwhile, are unchanged from their 5-2 win over Iceland, meaning Moussa Sissoko and Samuel Umtiti retain their places in Didier Deschamps's team.
N'Golo Kante and Adil Rami both must be content with places on the bench after missing the last-eight clash through suspension.
Germany XI: Neuer; Kimmich, Howedes, Boateng, Hector; Can, Schweinsteiger, Kroos; Draxler, Ozil, Muller.
France XI: Lloris; Sagna, Koscielny, Umtiti, Evra; Matuidi, Pogba; Payet, Griezmann, Sissoko; Giroud.
