German Figure Skating Championships

The German Figure Skating Championships (German: Deutsche Meisterschaften im Eiskunstlaufen) are an annual figure skating competition organized by the German Ice Skating Union (German: Deutsche Eislauf-Union) to crown the national champions of Germany. The first official German championships were held in 1891 in Munich; A. Schmitson was the winner. Pair skating was added in 1907, an event for women in 1911, and ice dance in 1950. Between 1949 and 1990, East Germany and West Germany held separate championships; the West German championships are considered the official German championships.

Skaters compete in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants.

Werner Rittberger, the skater who is credited with inventing the loop jump, holds the record for winning the most German championships in men's singles (with eleven), while Ellen Brockhöft and Nicole Schott are tied for winning the most championships in women's singles (with seven each). Aljona Savchenko holds the record in pair skating (with ten, although not all with the same partner). Three teams are tied for winning the most German championships in ice dance: Angelika Buck and Erich Buck; Kati Winkler and René Lohse; and Nelli Zhiganshina and Alexander Gazsi (with six each).
