The GDR ice hockey championship 1987/88 went straight to the old and new title holder from SC Dynamo Berlin with two series won .
Last year's B-group winner, BSG Einheit Weißwasser , profited from the undecided duel between the supposed tournament favorites from Berlin and Crimmitschau and secured the title in the debut year.
The determination of the best, which has now become a tradition, was held in Crimmitschau. While Group A was playing their final round in March 1988, the teams in Group B met a week earlier in February.
