In German domestic football, the three major annual honours are the national football championship (from 1903, called the Deutsche Fußballmeisterschaft and later, the Bundesliga), the DFB-Pokal and the DFL-Supercup. Can you name the clubs that have received each?
The national football championship was called the Deutsche Fußballmeisterschaft from its inception in 1903 until 1944. This competition consisted of a smaller tournament between regional league winners. After World War II, the Deutsche Fußballmeisterschaft continued in West Germany (BRD) and East Germany (DDR) launched the DDR-Oberliga. In 1963, the Bundesliga was launched, which existed alongside the DDR-Oberliga until German reuinifcation in 1990, when the Bundesliga (and the next two tiers in German football) became the only professional football league in the country.
Two cup competitions exist in Germany. The national cup was called the 'Tschammer-Pokal' from 1935 until 1943 and then the 'DFB-Pokal' since the 1952-53 season. This cup is won through a tournament system. The winners of the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal compete for the third domestic honour, the DFL-Supercup (which was called the DFB-Supercup from its inception in 1987 until 1996. The supercup competition ceased until relaunched as the DFL-Supercup from 2010 onward.
