German Open (badminton)
The German Open is an annual Badminton tournament held in Germany since 1955 and organized by German Badminton Association or Deutscher Badminton Verband (DBV). The tournaments were not held in the year 1970, 1979 and 1998.
Known as German Badminton Championships until 1980, the tournament was later allowed to be known as Open Championships from 1981 on.[1] The tournament is currently sponsored by Yonex.
