The last big reform was in 1996.

But this reform has been reformed in 2004, 2006, 2011, 2017, and 2018. *lol*

(English) Wikipedia says:
Even though German spelling was already more consistent than English or
French spelling, the German-speaking countries signed an agreement on
spelling reforms in 1996; these were planned to be gradually introduced
beginning in 1998 and fully in force by 2005. The so-called
Rechtschreibreform was subject to dispute, and polls consistently showed
a majority against the new spelling. In summer 2004, various newspapers
and magazines returned to the old spelling, and in March 2006, the most
controversial changes of Rechtschreibreform were reverted. Therefore
German media outlets which had formerly opposed the changes began to use
the new spelling.

Cheers,
Robert
