This tournament took place from November 5 to November 9, 2008 in the Kurhaus in Bad Wildungen , Hesse .

The two former professionals Patrick Einsle and Lasse Münstermann , who is the record winner of the German championship with 3 titles, did not take part in the tournament because they were taking part in the IBSF World Snooker Championship (formerly Amateur World Championship) in Austria at the same time .
The German-Brazilian Itaro Santos defeated Christian Gabriel in the final and won the German men's snooker championship for the second time after 2005. The two bronze medals went to Stefan Kasper and Jörn Hannes-Hühn . Defending champion Sascha Lippe was eliminated in the quarter-finals.
