List of German team champions in chess

overview
In what would later become the Federal Republic of Germany, German chess championships for club teams were played for the first time in 1947. Until 1980, the championship for club teams was decided in a final tournament of four teams. Until the four-track Bundesliga was introduced in 1974/75, the final round participants were determined in lengthy qualifying rounds. From 1974/75 to 1979/80 the winners of the 1st national leagues North, West, Southwest and South took part in the final round. Since 1980/81, the German champions have been played in the single-track 1st Bundesliga . From 1950 to 1990, the GDR also determined their team champions. In the 1990/91 season, the starting positions for the German team championship were played separately in East and West, and since the 1991/92 season an all-German champion has been determined in the 1st Bundesliga. For the first time in the 2016/17 season, the final round of men and women was held at the same time in the same place: from April 29 to May 1, 2017 in the Maritim Hotel Berlin - with the women's boards in the middle of the room.
The most successful team until the end of the 1960s was the Munich SC 1836 with a total of eight championships. In 1989, German record champions Baukombinat Leipzig won the GDR's German team championship for the thirteenth time. After the establishment of the Bundesliga, amateur sport gradually withdrew. In recent times, a dominance of less financially strong clubs has become noticeable. Between 1979 and 2000, only three teams entered the list of winners, the Solingen SG (with a total of twelve titles) , SG Porz and the chess department of FC Bayern Munich . Subsequently, the Lübeck chess club from 1873 dominated for a time , which, however, withdrew from professional sport, and the OSC or (since 2008) OSG Baden-Baden undisputed for more than ten years in a row .
