The OpenThesaurus German Dictionary Plugin (formerly Thesaurus Deutsch) extends Apple's Dictionary application (Dictionary.app) with a German thesaurus.
You can search for every synonym not just the primary word.
You can search for parts of a hyphen delimited term or a word which is not located at the beginning of a term (as Dictionary normally does).
This is a offline dictionary, so you don't need an internet connection.
The dictionary content is based on the online dictionary www.openthesaurus.de by Daniel Naber.

What's New
Version 2011.08.04:
Fixed a bug with the update message in the footer
Updated the dictionary content to the OpenThesaurus database from 2011-08-03 with 64052 entries (last version: 63934).
I strongly dislike the idea that I must enter my user password to install this. Other Dictionary plugins simply have to be moved into the Library>Dictionaries folder so there is no possibility of unlocking my computer for malware .
The download link is broken, possibly due to initial installation problems.
I found a mirror over here:

Such a great plug-in! Just an add-on to the standard dictionary and not a separate application. Hopefully the GE-EN Dictionary will get an update soon as well.
Archive appears to be damaged. Archive Utility extracts a .cpgz file. bunzip2 extracts a .dmg with a "trailing garbage after EOF ignored" warning; opening it won't find a filesystem.
The latest upload of Thesaurus is still no good. It still makes Safari load a page of code instead of downloading normally. Why not make it a .zip archive?
The developer uploaded a file that makes Safari go nuts. Fills a page with code instead of downloading normally. And there's no way to contact the developer.

AddType application/x-apple-diskimage .dmg
to the server configuration or their referer script, as this will fix the problem.
