These exciting results are in the context of a sport that has a long and significant tradition in Germany. Table tennis was developed in England at the end of the 19th century, and the first tournament in Germany took place in 1901. With the founding of the German Table Tennis Association (DTTB) in 1925, the foundation stone was laid for dynamic development in this sport that continues to this day. The DTTB recorded around 527,000 members in 2024, which represents an increase compared to the previous year, as can be seen on table tennis100.de
Germany is one of the best table tennis nations, and the table tennis Bundesliga (TTBL) is one of the strongest leagues in Europe.
