A total of 133 German championship titles in 20 sports will be awarded in Dresden at the finals from July 31 to August 1. Preparations are in full swing, according to a press conference at the Semper Opera House.
The nine sports venues are located within a 3.5-kilometer radius of the city centre. The Frauenkirche, in front of which the champions in 3x3 basketball or speed climbing will be determined, or Theaterplatz as the archery venue and finish line for the triathletes, offer spectacular backdrops for the spectators, who can get up close to the athletes. Some sports, such as coastal rowing and flag football, will be included in the event's program for the first time.
Saxony's Sports Minister Armin Schuster symbolically handed over a cheque for one million euros to Dresden's Sports Mayor Jan Donhauser during the press conference, symbolizing the state's funding decision to support the 2025 finals.
