The history of hockey in Germany from 1897 to 1945 saw the sport evolve and develop in many facets.
In 1881, during the Deutschen Patent- und Gebrauchsmuster-Ausstellung (German Patent and Utility Model Exhibit), the first ice rink in Germany, measuring 520 m2, opened in Frankfurt. It was only in operation for three months. 10 years later, Frankfurt got its first permanent ice rink at the Palmengarten. A skating association, known as the Deutschen Nationalen Eislauf Verband, was formed in 1888. It was renamed the Deutscher Eislaufverband in 1897.
The first bandy hockey (Eishockey mit dem Ball) match in Germany was played on February 4, 1897, between the Akademische Sportclub Berlin and a team of students. The former team won, 11-4. A visit by the Tebbutt brothers from England with their Bury Fen Bandy Club in 1899 helped keep the bandy style at the forefront for many years. In 1901, they donated the Wanderpokal to the newly-formed Berliner Eishockey-Verband.
It took an American expat named Charles Hartley to introduce ice hockey to Germany. Hartley was quoted as saying, "Imagine my surprise, when my first tentative investigation of the possibilities of hockey in Germany were greeted with the assurance that they already knew all about hockey there. And what hockey! They played eleven men a side (bandy) and used a lacrosse ball. The ice was approximately the same size and shape as an American football field. The sticks were of about the same length as a mashie-niblick, and no one dreamed of trying to carry the ball. They just batted it down the ice to the next man."
Hartley initially played bandy with ASC Dresden in 1906. When he attempted to dribble (stick-handle) the ball, he was told that it was illegal to hold the stick with two hands. He was disappointed that "Canadian" ice hockey had not yet gained a foothold in Germany, so in 1907 he contacted a friend in Toronto (Dr. Bradley Wills Linscott) and requested he ship some hockey sticks and pucks. When the materials arrived, Hartley distributed to them his German bandy friends. He explained and demonstrated how Canadian ice hockey was played. This style of play proved popular, and ice hockey soon usurped bandy in most areas.
The development of ice hockey was further spurred on by the opening of an indoor rink in Berlin, the Berliner Eispalast, in 1908. The facility played host to the Berlin International Tournament, which was played three times from 1908-1910. The aforementioned Charles Hartley played for Berliner HC at the 1908 tournament, and led ASC Dresden to victory in 1909. He was regarded as the best German player at both tournaments.
Leipziger SC, the top bandy team in Germany, played its first ice hockey match against Berliner Schlittschuhclub on January 15, 1909, at the Eispalast. Neutralizing Berlin's top player, Bruno Grauel, the Leipzig club won 3-1. With the great Schomburgk brothers (Herbert and Wilhelm) at the forefront, Leipziger SC held onto the bandy style of play well into the 1920s, and were the best bandy team in Europe for many years. They switched to playing ice hockey and joined the German Championship in 1926.
•Bandy and Ice Hockey in Austria (1899-1923)
Bandy was played in Germany in the early twentieth century, including by Crown Prince Wilhelm, [59] but the interest died out in favour of ice hockey. The Leipziger Sportclub, which arguably had the best team, was also the last club to give bandy up.

By examining the chart, it can be seen that hockey with a puck had become the preferred style of play throughout western Europe by around 1910. Bandy remained at the forefront in the Baltics, Nordics, Austria, Hungary, and Russia until the 1920s and, in some cases, beyond.
4 days ago · An eleven-a-side team game played on ice-covered ground, with a ball rather than a puck. It originated in England at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, and an English-based team hosted a club from Holland in the winter of 1890–91.
Both Candian rules hockey (IIHF) and Anglo-Russian-rules hockey (bandy) used the official name ice hockey. Following 1924, when the IOC decided to include IIHF, the Nordic Federations used the official name bandy.
