The German Indoor Combined Events Championships (German : Deutsche Leichtathletik-Hallenmehrkampfmeisterschaften) is an annual combined track and field events competition which serves as a national indoor championship for Germany.
The competition was established in 2003 by the German Athletics Association and is organised by various regional associations at different locations from year to year. [1] [2] The competition consists of men's heptathlon and women's pentathlon, with three separate age categories: senior, under-20, and under-18.
Prior to the competition's establishment, German national championships in combined events were awarded in West Germany in 1973 to 1975, [3] while those in the East had a more established tradition with a combined events title being awarded within the East German Indoor Athletics Championships from 1971 to its final edition in 1990. The East German events were held on over-sized indoor tracks and the men's event varied, starting as a pentathlon in 1974 until a switch to heptathlon in 1981 and briefly being held as an octathlon from 1987 to 1989. [4] The edition numbering of the East German Athletics Federation's event was inconsistent, with the exclusion of annual championships not held in the regular venue in Senftenberg. [5]
