Ahead of the ninth anniversary of Ms Strobel's death, German police are offering the financial reward for any information that can help solve the crime.
In a statement provided through NSW Police, the Bavarian Office of Criminal Investigations said there was no doubt Ms Strobel was the victim of a major crime.
German prosecutors opened their own homicide case following the death, with a prosecutor travelling to Australia, Japan and Great Britain as part of the investigation.
"But in spite of all the efforts it has not been possible so far to completely solve the death of Simone Strobel," the prosecutors' statement read.
German authorities want to hear from anyone who may now be privy to details relating to Ms Strobel's death.
Australians with information are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
