Eisbären Berlin

The Eisbären Berlin are the top team in the German ice hockey league. With nine league titles and one cup victory in recent years, theirs is a true success story. And in 2026, they will have been crowned German champions for the 12th time.

The history of Berlin ice hockey

The club’s sporting roots go back to SC Dynamo Berlin, 15-time GDR champions. Things often get very rough on the ice; body checks and scuffles are all part of the game. The rather crude fan chants are also not for the faint-hearted. But once the match is over and the two teams have shaken hands, all is forgotten.

The so-called ‘Wellblechpalast’ in Hohenschönhausen was replaced in 2008 by the current Uber Arena on Platz der Nationen – Europe’s most modern entertainment arena – as the Eisbären’s home ground. Since then, up to 14,500 spectators have been able to watch the battle on the frozen rink. The Eisbären are famous for their attractive, attacking style of play – it gets the crowd buzzing and guarantees excitement. The celebrations continue after the match – in the fan bar with a view of the ice rink.

The Eisbären Juniors women’s team

However, ice hockey has long since ceased to be a purely male sport – the women’s team of the Eisbären Juniors Berlin is successfully competing at the very top of the DFEL. The team has firmly established itself among the national elite, thrilling fans with fast-paced, technically strong ice hockey, and even reached the playoff final for the German Championship in the 2025/2026 season. They have also been runners-up on several occasions and were crowned German Junior Champions in 2022.
