The event took place from 27 January to 2 February 2025 at the Tempodrom in Berlin, Germany, with qualifying having been held from 16 to 19 December 2024 at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield, England.[4][5][6] The twelfth ranking event of the 2024–25 season (following the 2024 Scottish Open and preceding the 2025 Welsh Open), and the only major tournament of the season to be held in mainland Europe, the tournament is the fifteenth edition of the German Masters since 2011. Originally created as the ranking German Open in 1995, and held for three consecutive years in different cities, it was renamed the German Masters in 1998 and held as a non‑ranking event before being discontinued thereafter. It was revived as the ranking German Masters in 2011 and since then has been held at the Tempodrom in Berlin.[a] In 2021, the trophy was named after former World Snooker Tour director Brandon Parker who passed away in 2020.[9]
The defending champion was Judd Trump, who won his record third German Masters title in 2024, winning the final 10–5 against China's Si Jiahui who was contesting his first ranking final.[10][11][12][13] Trump was beaten 2–5 by Neil Robertson in the last‑16 round.

Semi finals

The semi‑finals were played on 1 February.[6] Kyren Wilson won the first three frames against Xiao Guodong to lead 3–0, making a century break in the third, but Xiao won the fourth to reduce his deficit to 1–3 at the mid‑session interval. Wilson then won the next two frames to lead 5–1 before Xiao won the seventh. Wilson eventually won a 32‑minute eighth frame to defeat Xiao 6–2.

Close fifth and sixth frames were both won by Hawkins as well who then made back‑to‑back breaks of 83 in the seventh and eighth to defeat Yuan 6–2. Hawkins commented afterwards: "I think [Yuan Sijun] faltered towards the end a little bit. He started strongly and then when I came back at him it put him on the back foot."[41][40]
Final
The final was played on 2 February as the best‑of‑19 frames, over two sessions.[6] Kyren Wilson, the reigning World champion, was competing in his second German Masters final, having won the title previously in 2019. He met Barry Hawkins, the 13th seed, who was contesting his first German Masters final.
In the opening session, Wilson won the first two frames, making breaks of 62 and 67, before Hawkins won the next two, including a low‑scoring fourth with a 54–26 advantage, to level the score at 2–2 at the first mid‑session interval. Wilson dominated the scoreline in the fifth frame but Hawkins responded with a 75 break to win the sixth and went on to also win the seventh to lead for the first time in the match at 4–3. Wilson then made a 128 century break in the eighth to level the score again at 4–4. In the ninth and last frame of the session, both players initially missed shots with the rest, giving their opponent a scoring opportunity, before Hawkins made a 102 break to win the frame and lead 5–4 at the interval.[42][43][44]
At resumption of play, Wilson won the tenth frame of the match and then made a 93 break to also claim the eleventh and lead Hawkins 6–5. Wilson also had the first scoring opportunity in the twelfth, making a 53 break, but then overcut a pink and Hawkins cleared to the black to win the frame by two points and restore parity at 6–6. Both players then made their second century of the match, Wilson winning the thirteenth frame with a 125 and Hawkins the fourteenth with a 100 break, to tie the game at 7–7. Wilson subsequently won the fifteenth frame but Hawkins leveled again at 8–8, winning the sixteenth with a 61‑point clearance that included a table‑length double on the penultimate red, with Wilson saying he had "never seen such a good shot".[45] After Hawkins missed an attempted plant, Wilson won the seventeenth frame to lead 9–8 but Hawkins claimed a 30‑minute eighteenth frame to set up a deciding frame at 9–9. It was the first time in the history of the German Masters that a deciding frame was played in the final.[46] After Hawkins made a safety mistake by catching a red too thick and crashing the cue ball into the cluster of reds, Wilson gained the first scoring opportunity in the nineteenth and final frame, making a 59 break before missing a plant. Hawkins then attempted a thin cut on a red to a corner pocket and managed to pocket the object ball but went in‑off in a centre pocket. Now leading by 63 points with 5 reds remaining on the table, Wilson eventually made a plant to leave Hawkins requiring snookers and after a safety exchange potted the penultimate red from distance to win the frame and match 10–9.[47][48][43][44]
After the match Wilson said: "It just shows how tough the standard is in snooker. Barry is one of the best match players in the game and you have to get past him. I managed to scrape through and I'm proud of how I held him off. The fans have been really treated to some great snooker this week and a 10–9 final is probably what they wished for. It is amazing to walk away with the trophy and I'd like to thank everyone for the support." Hawkins said: "I felt like I was holding on to Kyren all day. He was playing better than me and was the stronger player. In the end, at 9–9, it is anybody's game. I've had a great week. It has been a great crowd and I've had great support. It is onwards and upwards. Kyren deserved the win."[47][43]
