The German ice hockey championship in 1931 was the 15th edition of these championships .

The preliminary round took place on January 17 and 18, 1931 on the Riessersee near Garmisch-Partenkirchen . The final was played on January 21, 1931 in the Berlin Sports Palace .

In the preliminary round, the East Prussian representative VfB Königsberg managed a surprising victory against the hosts SC Riessersee . Königsberg was the first team in the final of a German championship that did not come from Bavaria or Berlin. In the final, the Königsberg team led after a third against the defending champion Berliner Schlittschuhclub , but ultimately lost a lot.

Attendees

Up to two teams per sub-association could take part:

• Brandenburg Ice Sports Association:
  • Berlin ice skating club (defending champion)
  • SC Brandenburg (after qualification)
• Bavarian Ice Sports Association:
  • SC Riessersee
  • Munich EV
• Southwest German Ice Sports Association :
  • SEC Schwenningen
• Regional Association of East Germany (East Prussia):
  • VfB Koenigsberg

In Berlin, the championship could not be played to the end because work was being carried out in the Berlin Sports Palace and the weather was too mild for a championship on natural ice. The Brandenburg Ice Sports Association therefore decided to play second place next to the defending champion Berlin Ice Skating Club in a qualifying game:

SC Brandenburg

8: 1

SC Charlottenburg

The SC Brandenburg could not travel to the preliminary round, so that only one game was played in Group A.
