contents The Southern Galactic Disk Survey (GDS) monitored a mosaic of 268 fields along a $6^\circ$-wide stripe in the southern Galactic disk with simultaneous observations in $r'$ and $i'$ ($7^\mathrm{m} \lesssim r', i' \lesssim 18^\mathrm{m}$) from September 2010 to September 2019. The survey design and data characteristics, as well as first results in $r'i'$, were presented by Haas et al. (2012; Paper I). Hackstein et al. (2015a; Paper II) extended the photometry and analysis process, and introduced the first catalogue including photometry of all 268 fields in $UBVr'i'z'$ and $r'i'$ light curves comprising up to 272 observations per field made between September 2010 and May 2015. Here we describe our custom-made observational scheduler and conclude the GDS with $r'i'$ light curves of up to 407 observations per field until September 2019 and $UBVz'$ light curves for a fraction of the fields. $113\,449$ distinct sources are identified as variables. Together with Paper II, we identified $77\,592$ variables that are not listed in either the International Variable Star Index (VSX) or the cross-match catalogue by Gavras et al. (2023). All emerging catalogues, comprising light curves, photometry, and reduced images, are made publicly available via the German Astrophysical Virtual Observatory (GAVO).
