1929 German Ice Hockey Championship

The 1929 German Ice Hockey Championship was the 13th season of the German Ice Hockey Championship, the national championship of Germany. Berliner Schlittschuhclub won the championship by defeating SC Riessersee in the final.
The championship was originally intended to be contested at the Berliner Sportpalast, but the ice plant was unavailable, and with any local outdoor options being unsuitable due to mild weather, it was moved to Lake Riessersee in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The competition took place from January 19-21, 1929.
Teams from the following associations were eligible to participate in the championship: Nordwestdeutscher Eissportverband, Norddeutscher Eissportverband, Niederschlesischer ESV, Oberschlesischer ESV, Landesverband Ostdeutschland, Gauverband Sachsen-Thuringen, Sudwestdeutscher ESV, and the Bayerischer ESV. There were also four teams not affiliated to any association - SC Forsthausstrase Frankfurt/Main, Leipziger SC, Schierker SV, and Tiroler Landes-Eisschiess-Verband.
