Germany's Strongest Man () is an annual strongman competition held by the German Federation of Strength Athletes (GFSA). Heinz Ollesch holds the record for most wins with 12 wins.
On the men's side the sport of strongman in Germany is divided into three leagues - The ATX Power League (third division), the Deutschland Cup Series (second division) and the German Pro League (first division). Beginners can also optionally participate in a Beginner Cup as their first competition.
The ATX Power League (third division) was added to the two existing leagues in the 2021 season and consists of several competitions held throughout the year. After each competition, the top-placed German athletes are promoted to the second division, with the number of promotions depending on the number of participants. For every ten participating athletes, one athlete is promoted. The top athlete in the U105 weight class is also promoted to the second division.
With the introduction of the German Pro League in 2014, the Deutschland Cup Series became the second division in German strongman. Several competitions are held throughout the season, in which the top 20 German athletes earn points based on their results. Double points are awarded for the final competition of the season, and if an athlete competes three or more times in one season, his worst result is discarded. At the end of the season, the three athletes with the most points are promoted to the German Pro League. Athletes ranked fourth and fifth can either be promoted to the first division or compete for another season at Deutschland Cup level.
Like the Deutschland Cup Series, the German Pro League includes several competitions per season in which athletes can collect points toward qualification for the German Championships. Here, too, the top 20 athletes in a competition receive points, and if an athlete competes three or more times in one season, his worst result is discarded.
In 2023 the current qualification system with 12 spots was introduced, where athletes can qualify via the following pathways:
If a qualified athlete chooses not to compete, the next athlete in the German Pro League ranking can move up.
Five athletes won the competition multiple times. Out of these winners, only Dennis Kohlruss is still actively competing at the time of the 2026 season.
In addition to the open weight class the title "Germany's Strongest Man" is also awarded in the lighter weight classes.
