Five members of the 1954 World Cup -winning team are commemorated with a statue outside the stadium of their club, 1. FC Kaiserslautern . (l-r) Werner Liebrich , Fritz Walter , Werner Kohlmeyer , Horst Eckel and Ottmar Walter .
Since the Germany national football team 's first official match in 1908,[1] it has been one of the most successful national teams in world football . They are the current World Champions, having won the 2014 World Cup , their fourth title in seventeen tournaments, to add to three titles from ten European Championships .[2] In doing so, twenty of its players have won both titles, and six have won gold, silver and bronze medals at the World Cup. Lothar Matthäus has played in a record 25 World Cup matches, and his participation in five World Cup tournaments is a joint record , shared with Antonio Carbajal of Mexico .[3] Miroslav Klose is the highest goalscorer in the tournament's history with 16 goals, while Gerd Müller is third with 14[3] and Franz Beckenbauer is one of only two men to win the World Cup as a player and as a coach.[4]
Matthäus was the inaugural winner of the FIFA World Player of the Year award in 1991,[5] and is one of five Germany players to have been awarded European Footballer of the Year ; two of which, Franz Beckenbauer and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge , have each won the award twice.[6] Beckenbauer was also voted in eighth place for the FIFA Player of the Century award, and was selected for the World Team of the 20th Century .[7] Ten German players were named in the FIFA 100 ,[8] a list of the 125 greatest living footballers chosen by former footballer Pelé , and ten are in the FIFA Century Club , having earned 100 or more caps .[9] Lothar Matthäus's 150 international appearances make him the ninth-most capped player in world football, and Miroslav Klose's 71 goals is the eleventh-most of any international player.[10]
Former captains of the national team may be awarded the title of Ehrenspielführer (honorary captain), by the German Football Association . To date, four former players of the men's team have received this award: Fritz Walter (1958), Uwe Seeler (1972), Franz Beckenbauer (1982) and Lothar Matthäus (2001).[11]
Germany's borders underwent many changes during the 20th century , which had an effect on the make-up of the German football team. After the annexation of Austria , the Austrian team was absorbed into the German team, resulting in the inclusion of several Austrians in Germany's 1938 World Cup squad .[12] After World War II and the break-up of Germany, two breakaway national teams were formed: Saarland (1950–56)[13] and East Germany (1952–90).[14] During this period, the team was commonly known as West Germany[15] until the country's reunification in 1990, when the East German team was reintegrated into the German national team.[14]
This list only covers the (West) Germany national team—the team of the DFB (German Football Association) . It includes all players with 20 or more appearances, or 10 or more goals, for the German team, and all capped players who were in the squad for a World Cup or European Championship finals.
