history
World championships
At the 1956 World Cup , the Federal Republic's team finished 16th and penultimate place. In 1960 she was tenth, but that meant last place. Two years later the West German women managed only one victory against their neighbor from Austria. From 1974 to 1990 the Federal Republic took part in every world championship, but was overshadowed by the much more successful GDR selection.
At the first joint World Cup participation in 1994 , Germany achieved fifth place in Brazil. Four years later, however, it was only enough to rank 13. In 2002 , the German women could not use the home advantage and finished tenth in front of their own audience. At the 2006 World Cup in Japan , the team ended up only in eleventh place - despite the plan to improve their balance sheet with the new national coach. Things went much better at the 2010 World Cup in Japan . The German women came in seventh place with the best result in 16 years. As runner-up European champions in 2013, they qualified for the 2014 World Cup , where they finished ninth. They also qualified for the 2018 World Cup , where they were eliminated in the second round.
