German Open (table tennis)

German Open preparatory games for women in the GETEC-Arena Magdeburg

The German Open in table tennis is a table tennis tournament in Germany that is played as part of the ITTF Pro Tour series and, since 2012, as part of the World Tour.

The forerunners of the German Open were the International German Championships , which were held annually from 1924/25 to 1938/39 and with interruptions from 1953/54, especially in the 1990s. As early as 1907 there was an event in Berlin that was called the “International German Championship”, which, however, was not officially recognized in retrospect because it was conducted according to “American rules”.

From 1971 to 1990 and 2008 team competitions were also held. In 1990, active participants took part for the first time after reunification as representatives of the GDR table tennis association DTTV .

The event has been held annually since 2001.
