We have performed soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) on the heavy fermion superconductor CeNi$$_{2}$$Ge$$_{2}$$ to examine the local 4${it f}$ electronic structure. The XAS spectra are qualitatively explained by ionic calculations, indicating a degree of localized character of the 4${it f}$ states, while sizable ${it cf}$-hybridization effects are also observed in the XAS spectra and those magnetic circular dichroism. In addition, the temperature dependence of linear dichroism in the XAS spectra indicates that the ground state symmetry is $$Gamma$$$$_{7}$$, and the excited states with $$Gamma$$$$_{6}$$ symmetry is above 390 K.
