In Germany they use these abbreviations for that:

OV = Original Version

OmU = Originalfassung mit Untertitel (original with German subtitles)

DF = Deutsche Fassung (German version)

OmeU = Originalversion mit englischsprachigen Untertiteln (original with English subtitles)

Oh, ok. Didn't know about that. Thanks for the info!

But, I still think that it needs some more clarity. Does a film listing not having any of these abbreviations default to German audio?

Just a few things of this sort.

In my experience, yes. The default is German without subtitles. I have seen the OV and OmU abbreviations a lot of times, but most showtimes don't have anything listed which will mean German.

Yes, unfortunately the default is German dubbing. If it doesn't say OV or OmU, that's absolutely what you're getting.
