The 60th German Athletics Championships were held from July 22nd to 24th, 1960 in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin .

Six weeks before the Olympic Games in Rome and two weeks before the eliminations for the all-German team , Manfred Steinbach won the long jump with 8.14 m, beating Jesse Owens' 25-year-old world record by one centimeter. Steinbach's width could not be recognized because of the tail wind of 3.2 m / s. With its regular width of 7.93 m, Steinbach exceeded the German record held by Luz Long since 1937 by three centimeters .

Helmut Janz set his own German record of 50.6 s over 400 m hurdles .

There were over 80 m hurdles for women in the 10.6 s achieved by Zenta Kopp , which would also have meant setting their own German record, no wind measurement, so this performance could not be officially rated.

As in previous years, further championship titles were awarded at various other locations:

Forest runs (men and women) - Dülmen , April 17th with individual / team evaluations on one route each
10,000 Meters (men) and
combined events (women: Pentathlon ) / (men: five and decathlon ) - Hamm , 24-25. September with individual and team ratings
Marathon run (men) and
50 km walk (men) - Celle , October 2nd with individual and team evaluation

The following overviews summarize the medal winners. A more detailed overview with the first six in the individual disciplines can be found under the link German Athletics Championships 1960 / Results .
