Germany celebrates: Grambusch leads to the European Championship title in hockey!
A grueling weekend for German hockey! On August 17, 2025, the German men's team defeated the Netherlands 4-1 in a penalty shootout in the final of the European Hockey Championship and secured the title. This is a historic victory as it is the first European title in 12 years and the third major title in a row - after winning the World Championships and silver at the Olympic Games. With this triumph, Germany catapulted itself into the hockey Olympus, and the jubilation over the crown they had longed for was huge. Nordkurier reports.
It was particularly pleasing that the captain of the German team, Mats Grambusch, ended his career in the national team after this tournament. Speaking after the final, he hesitated when given the opportunity to shoot in the shootout. Nevertheless, he was voted the best player of the tournament, which underlines his great contribution to the victory. Jean-Paul Danneberg, the goalkeeper, who shone as an outstanding penalty keeper and made a decisive contribution to the victory, also experienced this success. National coach André Henning, who has extended his contract until 2028, described this title as one of the greatest moments in the athlete's career.
