Welcome to Germany's most important badminton tournament!
Dear badminton fans,
The organizing team is pleased to announce that the YONEX German Open will continue to be held in Mülheim an der Ruhr from 2027 through 2030.
The German International Badminton Championships were first held in 1955 – two years after the founding of the German Badminton Association (DBV). The venue at that time was Bonn. Since then, this prestigious event has been held in a total of 13 different cities.
The current host city, Mülheim an der Ruhr, holds the record for the number of times the tournament has been held there: In 2027, the DBV’s most important tournament will take place in this Ruhr region municipality for the 27th time. Previously, the world’s best badminton players competed for the titles in Mülheim an der Ruhr from 1975 to 1977, 1980 to 1982, 2005 to 2019, and 2022 to 2026.
Since the tournament has not been held every year since 1955 (due, among other things, to the COVID-19 pandemic), the 2027 edition marks the 68th in its history. Players from Germany last stood on the top step of the podium at their home tournament in 1975.
In 2027, YONEX will serve as the main and title sponsor of the German International Badminton Championships for the 39th consecutive year.
The organizing team looks forward to welcoming you once again to the Westenergie Sporthalle in 2027 and wishes you an exciting experience at the YONEX German Open!
