Within the framework of perturbation theory formulas are derived that estimate effective hole masses in a Ge single crystal in a strong quantizing magnetic field in the vicinity of the point kz = 0 when the magnetic field is oriented along the [001] direction. Values of effective hole masses for some Landau levels (n = 2–6) are calculated.
