The 25-year-old Afghan, identified only as Farhad N in line with German privacy rules, was arrested immediately after the February 13, 2025, attack on a union demonstration.
The defendant was convicted of two counts of murder and 23 of attempted murder among other offences, German news agency DPA reported on Thursday.
The court found that he carried "particularly serious" guilt, meaning that he likely will not be eligible for release after 15 years as is usually the case in Germany.
The car ramming fatally injured two people, a two-year-old girl and her 37-year-old mother.
Forty-four other people suffered life-threatening or serious injuries, authorities have said.
