Silver shuttlecock
The silver shuttlecock is one of the oldest badminton tournaments still held annually in the new federal states. The tournament was first held in 1958, three years before the GDR's first individual title fights were launched. It is organized by SG Gittersee in Dresden . The tournament is named after the winner's trophies, which consist of an oversized silver shuttlecock. The trophies are challenge trophies and remain with the winners after three wins in a row or five times at all. At times the tournament had the status of a GDR ranking tournament. Tournaments such as the Silver Shuttlecock were of particular importance in the GDR, as a test of strength at the international level was almost impossible for GDR badminton players. Even after reunification, the tournament was able to hold its own in the national calendar. There are numerous national and international champions in the winners' lists. With Petr Báša and Ludmila Šimáková , multiple World Cup and European Championship participants are among the winners of the tournament.
