German athletics championships

Logo of the German Athletics Association

The German Athletics Championships for various disciplines of athletics are held annually. In each discipline, a German master is chosen in the men's and women's classes.

In most disciplines, the competitions are held at a main event that extends over a weekend. This does not include the disciplines of seven and decathlon , the 10,000-meter run , the long seasons , road and cross races , the contests go , and from 2019 by the German Athletics Association (DLV) into the program recorded Ultra runs which held separately become.

There are separate championship competitions in the junior (U23) and youth classes (U20, U18 and U16).

history

The first German athletics championships took place in Hamburg in 1898 . They consisted of three running disciplines (100, 200 and 1500 meters), which were held on two days with an interval of three weeks. In the next few years the competition program gradually expanded, but initially it remained with the division of the championships into several dates and locations. In 1906 there were the first championships in one place and one date. This has largely been preserved to this day. However, there have always been and still are outsourcing of partial competitions for organizational or time reasons, since the championships usually only take place on a weekend. The forest or cross-country run , which was held for the first time in 1913, has always been outsourced because it cannot be carried out in a stadium. It is the same with mountain running , which has only been part of the DLV competition program since 1985. The competitions in the all-round competitions are also usually outsourced in order to enable the athletes to start in individual disciplines. However, in recent years this has meant that the best German all-rounders often do not take part in the German all-around championships because these were too close to the European or World Championships or the Olympic Games. The runners 'and walkers' competitions held on the street are also usually not held as part of the German championships.

Women first took part in the German championships in 1920, albeit initially with only four disciplines (100 meters, 4-by-100-meter relay, long jump and shot put). Between 1925 and 1933, their competitions were held separately from the men.

The German athletics championships were canceled in only three years: in 1914, when mobilization for the First World War was running at the same time , in the last year of the Second World War in 1944 and immediately after the end of the war in 1945. The championships of 1946 took place on a much reduced scale , those of 1947 were championships in the three western zones of occupation. During the division of Germany , the GDR held its own championships from 1948 to 1990.

On January 1, 2019, the German championships of ultra running distances previously held by the German Ultramarathon Association (DUV) will be included in the DLV championship disciplines. See also the Wikipedia article German Championships of the DUV .

Disciplines

Since the first championship in 1898, which was held in only three disciplines, the number of disciplines has increased significantly at today. However, the competition program is not only characterized by further additions. There were and are disciplines in athletics that were only included in the competition program for a few years, e.g. B. the throwing ball or the hurdle sprint over 200 meters . The men's pentathlon, which was held in addition to the decathlon for many years, is also part of it. In other disciplines the distances have been changed, e.g. B. in the longest railway line, which was extended from 7,500 meters to 10,000 meters in 1919. Still other disciplines have never been part of the championship program until today, e.g. B. the hour run or the Olympic relay . Failure to take them into account at the German championships usually means that these disciplines are not or only very rarely offered at other sports festivals or regional championships, even if they contain record lists.

The respective competition program can be found in the article about the championships of the respective year.

Team ratings and team championships

In some disciplines (e.g. cross-country running , marathon running , all -around competitions ), in addition to the championship title in the respective individual discipline, championship titles in the team ranking are also awarded. The results of the three best athletes of a club are added up.

Team championships (known today as Team DM ) have also been held since 1934 . This is an all- around competition in which the different disciplines are contested by other athletes from the same club. The best team is determined with a point evaluation. Since many athletics clubs specialize in some disciplines and many top athletes find the start largely unnecessary, the number of participants has fallen sharply. This has led to the fact that this competition has largely disappeared from the public eye, despite some changes (e.g. joint valuation of women and men in a club). In the school and youth sector at the level of the regional associations, these championships - known as DJMM (= German Youth Team Championship ) - still enjoy high numbers of participants.

Conditions of participation

In most disciplines, a minimum performance is set as a qualification standard a few months in advance. This condition does not apply to most of the street races, since there high numbers of participants do not represent an obstacle to the evaluation. Upon request, the DLV can allow the start despite not having achieved a qualification. This happens, for example, with top athletes in recent years who, due to illness or other reasons, have not had the opportunity to meet the norm.

All German athletes who are members of a sports club affiliated to the DLV are eligible to participate. In November 2016, the German Athletics Association (DLV) announced, although it had already decided in the summer that from 2017 foreigners without German citizenship will no longer be allowed to participate in German championships.

According to DLV President Clemens Prokop , the primary purpose of the change in regulation is to “ensure that the German championships serve to determine the best German national”, and apart from the German championship, no competition will be affected. The DLV also justified the rule change with the fact that (financially strong) clubs obtained an illegal advantage from athletes bought in at short notice from abroad for whom the date of entry into the club was pre-dated in order to simulate the mandatory one-year membership, or substantial ones Doubts about the age of athletes could not be verified.

Since the inclusion in the DLV best lists is linked to the right to participate in the DM, athletes who have a starting license for a DLV club but no German citizenship are now listed under the footnote “no right to participate in DM” in the respective best list . They will continue to be listed in the state leaderboards if they have the right to participate in state championships. Relays and team evaluations (street competitions, all-around competitions) in which an athlete who is not eligible to participate in the German championships was used or evaluated are also only placed as a footnote to the DLV best list or have not reached the qualification standard for the DM in this lineup.
