# 1992 German Athletics Championships

The 1992 German Athletics Championships was the 92nd edition of the national championship in outdoor track and field for Germany. It was held on 19–21 June at the Olympiastadion in Munich. It served as the selection meeting for Germany at the 1992 Summer Olympics. For the first time, women's pole vault and triple jump were contested.
The failed doping tests of Katrin Krabbe and Grit Breuer, two of Germany's best athletes, brought attention to the drug testing programme at the national championships.
