Table tennis in Germany
Table tennis has a long history in Germany. The first championship took place in Hamburg in 1901 and the German Table Tennis Association was founded in 1925. Today the DTTB has around 527,000 members, which is an increase compared to the previous year. Despite a general decline in table tennis players in recent decades, Germany remains one of the best table tennis nations in the world. The average Q-TTR value of all players is 1236, and interested members of the population number around 2.93 million. Another outstanding player in German table tennis history is Timo Boll, multiple European champion and World Cup winner.
The Table Tennis Bundesliga is viewed as one of the strongest leagues in Europe, and with projects such as the “Aufbruch” from the Hessian Table Tennis Association it shows that the development of table tennis is progressing positively. The DJK Sportbund Stuttgart is the fourth largest table tennis club in Germany with 26 registered teams, proof of the popularity of this sport in the country. This shows that despite difficult years and a noticeable decline, interest in table tennis still exists in Germany, as the statistics from Tischtennis100 show.
