History
The West German speedway team competed in the inaugural Speedway World Team Cup in 1960, finishing second in the Central European Round.[1][2] The following year in 1961, the East Germany national speedway team competed in their first World Cup and competed as a separate nation from West Germany.[3][4]
In 1977, West Germany won a bronze medal in the Speedway World Pairs Championship but they struggled to progress through the World Cup rounds and it was not until the 1981 Speedway World Team Cup that they finally reached a final.[5] Another appearance in the final came the following year in 1982.[6]
The team became part of the Germany national speedway team in 1991, following the events that led to the German reunification between 1989 and 1991.
