German champion (basketball)
A German champion in basketball is the most successful team in each year of a German Basketball Championship. For the first time, a German basketball champion was chosen in 1939 with LSV Spandau .
With the beginning of the Second World War , the national game operations came to a standstill. It was not until 1947 that the second basketball championship was played. The German Basketball Association (DBB) was founded in Düsseldorf in 1949 . Since the 1966/67 season, the German championship has been determined by the basketball league . Before that, the top leagues North, West, South-West and South played first-class. In the GDR , the champions of the German Basketball Association (DBV) of the GDR was played in the major league from 1953 to 1990 .
The men's record holders are the Bayer Giants Leverkusen with 14 championships won. They won seven titles in a row from 1990 to 1996. This feat was copied by Alba Berlin , which dominated from 1997 to 2003 and also won 7 titles in a row.
In the women's category, the SG KPV 69 Halle is the record holder of the GDR's title with 20 championships. In the Federal Republic of Germany, DJK Agon 08 Düsseldorf achieved the most championships with 12 titles.
In addition to the German championship, a cup competition is also played, see German Cup Winner .
