The German Darts Championship, part of the Euro Tour circuit, is set to kick off from Friday, August 30 to Sunday, September 1 at Halle 39 in Hildesheim. Known for hosting various PDC events throughout the year, this venue will once again welcome top darts players for an action-packed weekend.
According to a darts journalist, this event marks the beginning of a busy autumn schedule filled with Euro Tours, Players Championship tournaments, and major competitions. The German Darts Championship holds a special place in the hearts of many darts fans as one of the oldest Euro Tour tournaments on the calendar.
Looking back at the history of the German Darts Championship, it has been a staple in the darts community since its inception in 2012. The tournament, now in its twelfth edition, has seen legends like Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen lift the prestigious trophy. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the event continues to attract top talent year after year.
Reflecting on past champions, names like Dave Chisnall, Gary Anderson, and Peter Wright stand out as winners of the German Darts Championship. However, it was Ricardo Pietreczko who stole the show last year by defeating Michael van Gerwen in a thrilling semifinal match before clinching the title against Peter Wright.
Heading into this year’s tournament, players like Dave Chisnall, Michael van Gerwen, and Gerwyn Price are among the favorites to watch. With a stacked field of participants, including Raymond van Barneveld, Peter Wright, and Dimitri van den Bergh, fans can expect high-quality darts action throughout the weekend.
As the competition heats up in Hildesheim, all eyes will be on Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price, who are eager to add another title to their names. With the autumn season in full swing, this tournament serves as a crucial stepping stone for players looking to make their mark on the darts circuit.
