57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy measurements were performed on a powdered CuFe2Ge2 sample that orders antiferromagnetically at ~ 175 K. Whereas a paramagnetic doublet was observed above the Neel temperature, a superposition of paramagnetic doublet and magnetic sextet (in approximately 0.5 : 0.5 ratio) was observed in the magnetically ordered state, suggesting a magnetic structure similar to a double-Q spin density wave with half of the Fe paramagnetic and another half bearing static moment of ~ 0.5 - 1 mu_B. These results call for a re-evaluation of the recent neutron scattering data and band structure calculations.
