The German Indoor Athletics Championships (German: Deutsche Leichtathletik-Hallenmeisterschaften) is an annual indoor track and field competition organised by the German Athletics Association, which serves as the German national championship for the sport. Typically held over two to three days in February during the German winter, the first Unified Germany championships occurred in 1991, succeeding the West German and East German indoor nationals.[1] The unified indoor event preceded the newly-unified outdoor German Athletics Championships in the summer of 1991.[2] National indoor championships in relays, racewalking and combined track and field events are usually contested at separate locations.
