Darts tournamentTemplate:SHORTDESC:Darts tournament
The **2013 German Darts Championship** was the sixth of eight PDC European Tour events on the 2013 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at Halle 39 in Hildesheim, Germany, between 6–8 September 2013. It featured a field of 64 players and £100,000 in prize money, with £20,000 going to the winner.

Phil Taylor was the defending champion, after defeating Dave Chisnall 6–2 in the 2012 final, but he withdrew from the event a few days before it began.

Chisnall would go one better than the previous year, and won his first European Tour title by defeating Peter Wright 6–2 in the final.

## Prize money

The prize fund for the 2013 European Tour events rose to £100,000, with the winner getting £20,000.

## Qualification

The top 32 players from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 11 June 2013 automatically qualified for the event. The remaining 32 places went to players from three qualifying events - 20 from the UK Qualifier (held in Crawley on 21 June), eight from the European Qualifier and four from the Host Nation Qualifier (both held at the venue in Hildesheim on 5 September).

On 20 August, it was announced that James Wade would be replaced by an additional European qualifier, due to a PDC banning after the draw.

On 3 September, Phil Taylor withdrew and was replaced by an additional Host Nation qualifier.
