In the organizer's words:
DEU to Host German Figure Skating Championships with Christmas Gala in Krefeld
The German Skating Union (DEU) will host the upcoming German Figure Skating Championships on December 18–19 at the YAYLA ARENA in Krefeld. With the closing DEU Christmas Gala on Saturday evening featuring national and international stars, the championships will be a highlight for all sports and figure skating fans in the region and beyond. World pairs champions Minerva Hase and Nikita Volodin will also be competing.
After 53 years, the German Figure Skating Championships will return to Krefeld; the 128th edition of the championships will be a special event for spectators. Following the short programs and free skates by Germany’s top figure skaters as they compete for the national titles, the glittering DEU Christmas Gala will serve as the event’s highlight. National and international stars of the figure skating world are expected to perform at the exhibition on Saturday evening. The gala will also feature a presentation of the new synchronized figure skating discipline “Synchro9,” which will make its Olympic debut at the 2030 Winter Olympics in France.
It’s going to be an exciting competition: For the athletes, the national championships in Krefeld are the last chance to qualify for the 2027 European Figure Skating Championships in Lausanne, Switzerland (January 25–31, 2027). The German Championship titles will be awarded in the five championship-level competitions: ladies, men, pairs, ice dancing, and synchronized figure skating (Synchro 12–16 discipline). The short programs will take place on Friday evening (December 18), and the medalists will be decided in the free skate on Saturday afternoon (December 19). The Master Class fields will be bolstered by the state’s top junior skaters. On Saturday evening, the new German champions will then take the ice alongside international figure skating stars at the DEU Christmas Gala.
New, Exciting Championship Concept at the Krefeld Ice Sports Venue
The German Championships Christmas event is being organized in collaboration with Seidenweberhaus GmbH, the operator of the multifunctional arena, and aims to strengthen local skating clubs through its appeal. Up-and-coming figure skaters from the North Rhine-Westphalia region will have the opportunity to experience German pairs skating stars Minerva Hase/Nikita Volodin and Annika Hocke/Robert Kunkel up close during training and competition. “We want to offer spectators and fans a wonderful and exciting event with the German Championships and the Christmas Gala,” says DEU Executive Director Tatjana Wagner. “With the new concept of an integrated Christmas Gala featuring world-class international figure skaters, we’re taking the presentation of our national championship to a whole new level.”
The YAYLA ARENA in Krefeld, home arena of the first-division ice hockey team Krefeld Pinguine, is the perfect venue for the championship competitions. “Hosting the German Figure Skating Championships in Krefeld is a special milestone for our city and a strong statement about Krefeld as a center for ice sports. “We are proud to host this high-profile event and look forward to welcoming Germany’s best figure skaters, as well as numerous guests, to the YAYLA ARENA,” says Paul Keusch, Managing Director of Seidenweberhaus GmbH. The experienced event team, together with the DEU, aims to turn the championship competitions at this unique venue into an unforgettable experience. Ticket sales for the German Championships will begin in September.
