The competition was founded in 1966, by the German Basketball Federation. The first final of the German Basketball Cup took place on June 11th, 1967, in Oberhausen. Since 1993, the cup championship is decided in a final four format, which is held over one weekend. The host team of the cup's final four, is automatically set as one of the participants.
