Collective flow phenomena are a sensitive probe for the properties of extreme QCD matter. However, their interpretation relies on the understanding of the initial conditions e.g. the eccentricity of the nuclear overlap region. HADES [1] provides a large acceptance combined with a high mass-resolution and therefore allows to study di-electron and hadron production in heavy-ion collisions with unprecedented precision. In this contribution, the capability of HADES to study flow harmonics by utilizing multi-particle azimuthal correlation techniques is discussed. Due to the high statistics of seven billion Au+Au collisions at 1.23 AGeV collected in 2012, a systematic study of higher-order flow harmonics, the differentiation between collective and non-flow effects, and as well the multi-differential (pt, rapidity, centrality) analysis is possible.
