The 64th German Athletics Championships were held from August 7th to 9th, 1964 in the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

The performances at these championships were viewed critically with regard to the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo as well as the Olympic elimination competitions to be completed, in which the explosive rivalry between German athletes from East and West was particularly expressed. There was a joint Olympic team for the last time in 1964, which nobody knew at the time.

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

Forest runs - Asslar , April 19 with individual / team ratings on two lengths for the men (medium / long distance) and a middle distance for women with individual / team ratings
Marathon (men) and
50 km walk (men) - Karlsruhe , July 18, with individual and team ratings
All around (women: pentathlon ) / (men: pentathlon and decathlon ) - Karlsruhe , 18./19. July with individual and team ratings
Relay runs (women: 4 × 100 m ) / (men: 4 × 100 m , 4 × 400 m ), 3 × 1000 m - Karlsruhe , July 19,
i.e. all relays were not held this year in the main event, but together with the two-day all- around championships, the marathon and the 50 km walk .

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 1964 / Results .
