The number of cases was nearly 500 higher than on Friday when 7334 new infections were reported, the previous record.
Germany's prior infection peak of around 6300 daily cases was in late March, but it is likely there were significantly more cases at the time as testing capacity has been greatly expanded since then.
According to the RKI, at least 356,387 people in Germany have been infected with the coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic, while 9767 have died, 33 more than the previous day.
