 Exhibit 10.11 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 THIS
AGREEMENT IS MADE AND ENTERED INTO AS OF [DATE] BETWEEN 
  

	1.	[travel B.V.][trivago N.V.], a [private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid)][public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap)]
organized under the laws of the Netherlands, having its corporate seat at Amsterdam and its address at Bennigsen Platz 1, 40474 Düsseldorf, Germany, registered with the trade register of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 67222927 (the
Company); and  

  

	2.	[name], an individual, born in [place] on [date] (the Indemnitee). 


The Company and the Indemnitee hereinafter jointly also referred to as the Parties and each individually as a Party. 

WHEREAS 
  

	A.	The articles of association of the Company [will, after conversion of the Company into a public liability company under Dutch law,] contain an indemnification for current and former Managing Directors and Supervisory
Directors and certain other current and former Officers. 

  

	B.	Both the Company and the Indemnitee recognize the increased risk of expensive and time-consuming litigation and other claims being asserted against directors and officers of companies and that highly competent
and experienced persons have become more reluctant to serve or continue to serve companies as directors or officers unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance and/or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of
claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of companies. 

  

	C.	The Management Board and the Supervisory Board believe that: 

  

	 	a.	an increased difficulty in attracting and retaining highly competent persons, such as the Indemnitee, is detrimental to the best interests of the Company and its business; 


 

	 	b.	the Company may not be able - now or in the future - to obtain and keep liability insurance with full and adequate coverage for directors and officers; and 


 

	 	c.	it is reasonable, prudent and in the best interests of the Company and its business to, in furtherance of the Company’s articles of association, enter into this Agreement to provide for the 








 



 
  

	 	indemnification	of and advancement of expenses to the Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement in order to provide increased certainty of protection to the Indemnitee and induce the Indemnitee to provide and continue to provide
services to the Company. 

  

	D.	The Indemnitee serves as [a Managing Director][a Supervisory Director][an Officer].

	2	INDEMNIFICATION 

  

	2.1	The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against: 

  

	 	a.	any Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitee; and 

  

	 	b.	any Expenses reasonably paid or incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, 


to the extent this relates to his position as a current or former Managing Director, Supervisory Director or Officer, in each case to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 
  

	2.2	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no indemnification shall be given to the Indemnitee: 

  

	 	a.	if a Dutch court has established, without possibility for appeal, that the acts or omissions of the Indemnitee that led to the Liabilities or Proceeding as described in Clause 2.1 result from an unlawful or

	 	c.	 in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by the Indemnitee, including any

	 	tribunal with jurisdiction over such action determines, in a final and binding decision, that the material assertions or defences asserted by the Indemnitee in such action were made in bad faith or were frivolous,
however the indemnification shall in any event not extend to payments to be made by the Indemnitee under any order for costs given in such Proceeding) or (iii) the Supervisory Board voluntarily elects to provide the indemnification, in its sole
discretion, and without any obligation to do so, if and to the extent permitted by applicable law; and 

  

	 	d.	to the extent that his Liabilities and Expenses are paid or incurred by virtue of any other capacity of the Indemnity than referred to in Clause 2.1, including being a shareholder or stock option holder of the
Company. 

  

	2.3	The exclusion of Clause 2.2(a) shall apply mutatis mutandis if (and to the extent) a similar decision has been rendered by another competent court or arbitral tribunal. 


 

	3	ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES 

  

	3.1	Notwithstanding Clause 4.8 and any other provision of this Agreement (but subject to the entirety of this Clause 3, including Clause 3.2), the Company shall advance or reimburse all Expenses reasonably paid or incurred
by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding to the extent this relates to his position as a current or former Managing Director, Supervisory Director or Officer ultimately within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Company of a
statement or statements from the Indemnitee requesting such advance (an “Advance”) from time to time, or within such shorter period as indicated by the Indemnitee if necessary to secure the Indemnitee’s rights in such
Proceedings, whether prior to or after final resolution of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses reasonably paid or incurred by the Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by a
binding and irrevocable written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to immediately repay such Advance if it is ultimately determined by a competent court or arbitral tribunal, as applicable, in a final and binding decision, that the
Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such Expenses. Any Advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Clause 3.1 shall be unsecured and interest free. 








 



 
  
  

	3.2	The Indemnitee will not be entitled to any Advance in connection with any of the matters for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Clause 2.2, except if the relevant Liabilities and Expenses are covered by an
insurance and the insurer has irrevocably indicated that it would settle such Liabilities and Expenses (as described in Clause 2.2 paragraph b.), without such settlement having occurred within the period that the Company would be required to
indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement. In the latter case, the Indemnitee will be entitled to Advances under Clause 3.1, but shall be required to repay any such Advances received from the Company promptly after the insurer has settled the
Liabilities and Expenses covered by such Advances by means of a payment to the Indemnitee. 

  

	4	DETERMINATION OF ENTITLEMENT TO AND PAYMENT OF INDEMNIFICATION 

  

	4.1	The Indemnitee may deliver to the Company a written request to have the Company indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to Clause 4.10, such request may be delivered from
time to time and at such time(s) as the Indemnitee deems appropriate in his or her sole discretion. Such request shall include such relevant documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee. Following such a written request
for indemnification, the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined in accordance with Clause 4.2. 

  

	4.2	Upon written request by the Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Clause 4.1, a determination with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto will be made, if requested by the Indemnitee in the request
for indemnification, by an Independent Counsel in writing delivered to the Company, a copy of which will also be delivered to the Indemnitee, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. If the Indemnitee does not request that the determination
be made by an Independent Counsel, this determination shall be made by any of the following (at the election of the Company): 

  

	 	a.	so long as there are Disinterested Directors with respect to such Proceeding, a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors; 


 

	 	b.	so long as there are Disinterested Directors with respect to such Proceeding, a committee of such Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of such Disinterested Directors or, if so directed by a
majority vote of such Disinterested Directors, Independent Counsel; or  








 



 
  

	 	c.	if there are no Disinterested Directors with respect to such Proceeding, Independent Counsel in writing delivered to the Company, a copy of which will also be delivered to the Indemnitee, the Management Board and
the Supervisory Board.  

 The specific election by the Company as described above to use the person, persons or entity
enumerated above to make such determination is to be included in a written notification to the Indemnitee. The person, persons or entity chosen to make such determination under this Agreement of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification
shall act reasonably and in good faith in making such determination. 
  

	4.3	If a claim for indemnification under this Agreement is not paid in full within 30 Business Days after submission of the claim for payment under Clause 4.1, the Indemnitee may bring suit against the Company to recover
the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful, in whole or in part, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid by the Company also the expenses of prosecuting such claim. 


 

	4.4	Any determination pursuant to Clause 4.2 shall be binding upon the Company in any judicial proceeding as referred to in Clause 4.3. 


 

	4.5	 If the determination pursuant to Clause 4.2 will be made by an Independent Counsel, the Independent Counsel will
be selected by the Company and the Company will give written notice to the Indemnitee advising Indemnitee of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. The Indemnitee may, within five (5) Business Days after such written notice of
selection is given, deliver to the Company a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of
“Independent Counsel” as defined in this Agreement, and the objection will set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected will act as Independent Counsel. If a
written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a competent court or arbitral tribunal, as applicable, has determined that such
objection is without merit. If the determination pursuant to Clause 4.2 will be made by an Independent Counsel, and within fifteen (15) Business Days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Clause
4.1, no  









 



 
  

	 	Independent Counsel is selected, or an Independent Counsel for which an objection thereto has been properly made remains unresolved, either the Company or the Indemnitee may, at the Company’s expense, petition a
competent court or arbitrator, as applicable, for resolution of any objection which has been made by the Indemnitee to the Company’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the
court or by such other person as the court may designate. The Company will pay any and all reasonable and necessary fees and expenses incurred by such selected Independent Counsel in connection with the determination pursuant to Clause 4.2, except
if the Independent Counsel is appointed at the Indemnitee’s request and the Independent Counsel has determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, in which case the Indemnitee will pay the aforementioned costs.


  

	4.6	In making a determination, pursuant to Clause 4.2, the person, persons or entity making such determination will presume that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and anyone seeking to
overcome this presumption will have the burden of proof. 

  

	4.7	The Company will use all reasonable efforts to cause any determination required to be made pursuant to Clause 4.2 to be made as promptly as practicable after the Indemnitee has submitted a written request for
indemnification pursuant to Clause 4.1. 

  

	4.8	 All payments of Expenses and other amounts by the Company to the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement will be
made as soon as practicable after a written request or demand therefor by the Indemnitee is received by the Company, but in no event later than ten (10) days after it has been found in the determination pursuant to Clause 4.2 that the
Indemnitee shall be indemnified under this Agreement; provided, however, that an Advance will be made within the time provided in Clause 3.1. The written request of the Indemnitee for indemnification and payments shall constitute a binding
and irrevocable undertaking of the Indemnitee towards the Company providing that the Indemnitee undertakes (verplicht zich ertoe) to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law to repay any such indemnification payment if and to the extent
that it is ultimately determined by a competent court or arbitral tribunal, as applicable, in a final and binding decision that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Agreement. It is understood between the
Company and the Indemnitee, and the  









 



 
  

	 	Indemnitee hereby explicitly accepts (to the extent necessary, in advance), that any future indemnification payment pursuant to this Agreement is made to the Indemnitee under the condition that the Indemnitee shall
repay any such indemnification payment if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a competent court or arbitral tribunal, as applicable, in a final and binding decision, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Company under this Agreement. 

  

	4.9	The Indemnitee will fully cooperate with the person, persons or entity making a determination pursuant to Clause 4.2, including providing to such person, persons or entity, upon reasonable advance request, any
documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably relevant to such determination. Any actual and reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred
by the Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination will be borne by the Company, unless it is ultimately determined that by a competent court or arbitral tribunal, as applicable, in a final and binding
decision, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. 

  

	4.10	The Indemnitee will in any event be required to submit any request for indemnification pursuant to this Clause 4 within a reasonable time, not to exceed one (1) year, after any judgment, order, settlement,
dismissal, arbitration award, conviction, or other full or partial final determination or disposition of the Proceeding. The failure to timely submit the request to the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the
Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise, unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay adversely prejudices the Company. 

  

	5	NOTIFICATION AND DEFENSE OF PROCEEDINGS 

  

	5.1	The Indemnitee agrees to promptly notify the Company in writing upon receipt of a complaint, demand letter, writ of summons, or other document in relation to (or upon otherwise becoming aware of) any Proceeding against
the Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. The failure to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise, unless
and only to the extent that such failure or delay adversely prejudices the Company. 








 



 
  

	5.2	The Company will be entitled to participate in any Proceeding notified to the Company in accordance with Clause 5.1 and any other Proceeding against the Indemnitee for which indemnification will or, in the reasonable
determination of the Company, could be sought under this Agreement. Any participation of the Company in any Proceeding in accordance with the previous sentence, shall not in any way limit or otherwise adversely affect the right of the Company to
dispute the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification hereunder, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. 

  

	5.3	With respect to any Proceeding notified to the Company in accordance with Clause 5.1, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Company and reasonably satisfactory to
Indemnitee. The Company shall consult the Indemnitee on the conduct of the defense. The Company shall, however, have the right to conduct the defense as it sees fit in its sole discretion, provided that the Company shall conduct the defense in good
faith and in a diligent manner. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in such Proceeding, but any fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at
the Indemnitee’s expense, unless: (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized in writing by the Company; (ii) an actual conflict of interest arises between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of such
defense or representation by such counsel retained by the Company and the Company has not appointed new counsel who does not have a conflict of interest; (iii) such Proceeding seeks penalties or other relief against the Indemnitee with respect
to which the Indemnitor could not provide monetary indemnification to the Indemnitee (such as injunctive relief or incarceration); or (iv) the Company does not continue to retain counsel and the Company has not appointed new counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnitee to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. 


 

	5.4	The Company shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid or expenses incurred in connection with a settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Company’s prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 








 



 
  

	5.5	The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment or award against the Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) contains any
non-monetary remedy imposed on the Indemnitee or a Liability for which the Indemnitee is not wholly indemnified under this Agreement or (ii) with respect to any Proceeding with respect to which the Indemnitee is made a party or a participant or
is otherwise entitled to seek indemnification hereunder, does not include a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding. Neither the Company nor the Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold its
consent to any proposed settlement. 

  

	5.6	The Indemnitee shall fully cooperate with the Company and its counsel and shall give the Company and its counsel, at the Company’s expense, all information and access to documents and files, and to the
Indemnitee’s advisors and representatives, to the extent within the Indemnitee’s power, in each case as may be reasonably requested by the Company or its counsel with respect to any Proceeding that was (or should have been) notified to the
Company in accordance with Clause 5.1. 

  

	6	LIABILITY INSURANCE 

  

	6.1	The Company will exert its best efforts to obtain and maintain a policy or policies providing liability insurance on behalf of the Indemnitee with coverage up to such amount as will be determined by the Management Board
for any Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitee and any expense reasonably paid or incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, to the extent such Liabilities and Expenses relate to his position as a Managing Director, Supervisory
Director or Officer. 

  

	6.2	 The Company undertakes to give prompt written notice of the commencement of any claim hereunder to its insurers
in accordance with the procedures set forth in each of the policies providing liability insurance to the Indemnitee to the extent that, in the reasonable determination of the Company, insurance coverage is available in respect of such claim. Upon
written request by the Indemnitee, the Company shall provide the Indemnitee with a copy of such notice. The Company shall thereafter diligently take all actions reasonably necessary under the circumstances to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of
the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the 









 



 
  

	 	terms of such policies. This Clause 6.2 shall not affect the Company’s authority to freely negotiate or reach any compromise with the insurer that is reasonable in the Company’s sole discretion, provided that
the Company shall act in good faith and in a diligent manner. 

  

	6.3	The Indemnitee will cooperate in all ways with the Company and its counsel and, if required by the Company, with the insurers issuing the Company’s Managing Directors, Supervisory Directors’ and Officers’
or other relevant liability insurance, to the extent the Company deems such cooperation reasonably necessary. 

  

	7	NON-EXCLUSIVITY 

 The rights and remedies of the Indemnitee hereunder shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights or remedies the Indemnitee may at any time have under applicable law, any agreement other than this Agreement, any insurance policy or otherwise and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent exercise of any other right or remedy. 

 

	8	SUBROGATION 

  

	8.1	In the event of any payment by the Company under this Agreement, the Company will be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee with respect thereto, including rights
under any policy of insurance or other indemnity agreement or obligation, and the Indemnitee will execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the
Company to enforce such rights inside or outside of court. 

  

	8.2	To the extent the subrogation referred to in Clause 8.1 is not possible for whatever reason, the Indemnitee shall, at the request and expense of the Company, take all reasonable steps to enforce such right of recovery
in his own name (credit being given to the Company for any sum recovered by Indemnitee by reason of such right of recovery) or assign the right of recovery to the Company. 








 



 
  
  

	9	PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION 

 If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Liabilities or Expenses incurred by him in the investigation, defence, appeal or settlement of any Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such Liabilities or expenses to which the Indemnitee is entitled. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any or all claims, issues or matters relating in whole or in part to an indemnifiable event, occurrence or matter hereunder, including dismissal without prejudice, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all
Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such specific defences on which Indemnitee prevailed. 
  

	10	NO DUPLICATIVE PAYMENTS 

  

	10.1	The Company shall not be required under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder, if and to the extent that the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any
insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. 

  

	10.2	If and to the extent the Indemnitee receives a payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement (other than this Agreement) or otherwise after the Company has indemnified the Indemnitee for a Liability or
expense, the Indemnitee shall reimburse to the Company the amounts received from the Company under this Agreement in connection with such Liability or expense promptly upon receipt of such payment by the Indemnitee. 


 

	11	DURATION OF AGREEMENT 

 This Agreement shall remain in effect until and terminate upon
the latest of (a) the statute of limitations applicable to any claim that could be asserted against the Indemnitee with respect to which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (b) ten years after the date that
the Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a Managing Director, Supervisory Director or Officer or (c) if, at the later of the dates referred to in (a) and (b) above, there is a pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which the
Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification hereunder or there is a pending Proceeding in connection with this Agreement, one year after the final termination of such Proceeding (including any and all appeals).

Parties. 
  

	12.2	Invalid provisions

Agreement.

	12.4.2	Where a Party does not exercise any right under this Agreement (which shall include the granting by a Party to any other Party of an extension of time in which to perform its obligations under any provision hereof),

 or such other address as the Party to be given notice
may have notified to the other Party from time to time in accordance with this Clause for that purpose. 
  

	12.6.3	A notice shall be effective, in the absence of earlier receipt: 

  

	 	a.	if delivered by hand to the relevant address referred to in Clause 12.6.2, at the time of delivery; 

  

	 	b.	if sent by registered mail to the relevant address referred to in Clause 12.6.2 and that address is in the same country as the sender, at the expiration of two (2) Business Days after the time of posting;


  

	 	c.	if sent by registered mail to the relevant address referred to in Clause 12.6.2 and that address is not in the same country as the sender, at the expiration of seven (7) Business Days after the time of posting;


  

	 	d.	if sent by email to the relevant email address referred to in Clause 12.6.2, one Business Day after the time of transmission; 

  

	12.6.4	If a notice or communication would otherwise be deemed to have been delivered outside normal business hours (being 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on a Business Day) in the time zone of the territory of the recipient under the
preceding provisions of this Clause 12.6, it shall be deemed to have been delivered at the next opening of such normal business hours in the territory of the recipient. 


 

	12.6.5	In proving service of the notice or communication, it shall be sufficient to show that delivery by hand was made or that the envelope containing the notice or communication was properly addressed and posted as
registered mail or that the email was recorded in the IT system of the sender as having been sent and that the sender did not receive within twelve hours of sending the email an error message indicating failure to deliver. For the avoidance of
doubt, a notification that the recipient of an email is out of the office, or no longer working at an organisation, shall not constitute an error message indicating failure to deliver.

	12.7	Counterparts

of its successors (whether direct or indirect by merger, demerger or otherwise) in respect of this Agreement, to confirm that it has assumed the Company’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and that it agrees to perform this Agreement
in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
