Magnetic materials are of great interest for investigating spin-dependent transport properties by analysis of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and topological Hall effect (THE). Here we report the concurrence of large AHE and THE over a wide temperature range up to room temperature in centrosymmetric ${\mathrm{Mn}}_5{\mathrm{Ge}}_3$. Unlike previous observation of AHE in ferromagnet, only the ordinary Hall effect captured by the two-band model is observed at low temperatures without AHE, which may be attributed to the opposite contribution from intrinsic and skew-scattering mechanisms. Remarkably, our results reveal two distinct sources of THE: noncollinear spin textures and skyrmion bubbles. When ${\mu }_{0}H$ ‖ $\left[100\right]$, a large THE is observed as a result of the chiral effect caused by the spin-flop process. A giant THE can also be detected when ${\mu }_{0}H$ ‖ $\left[001\right]$, which is mainly triggered by the skyrmion bubbles observed by magnetic force microscopy. Moreover, we find the topological Hall resistivity as high as 0.93 $\mu \mathrm{\Omega }\mathrm{cm}$ at 290 K, highlighting ${\mathrm{Mn}}_5{\mathrm{Ge}}_3$ as a promising candidate for future device applications.
