The German Women's Ice Hockey Bundesliga or DFEL (German: Deutsche Fraueneishockey-Liga or Fraueneishockey-Bundesliga) is the top-tier women's ice hockey league in Germany. It was founded in 1988 by the German Ice Hockey Federation (German: Deutscher Eishockey Bund; DEB).

History[]

The German Women's Ice Hockey Bundesliga was created in 1988–89. Previously, the national championship took the form of a tournament featuring the best teams from the various regional federations. The Bundesliga was initially split into two divisions, North and South, with a final championship tournament at the end of the season, but in April 2006, the participating teams voted to have only a single division, starting from the 2006–07 season.

German Women's Cup[]

Beginning in the 2001–02 season, the German Ice Hockey Federation (DEB) organized an annual tournament called the DEB Women's Cup (German: DEB-Pokal der Frauen), which would be played over several days at the end of the DFEL season. It featured the top four or six teams from the most recent DFEL season, divided into two groups of two or three teams each. The tournament has not been held since 2018.
