The Germany men's national volleyball team represents Germany in international volleyball competitions. It is: governed by, the German Volleyball Association. Germany won the gold medal at the 1970 World Championship as East Germany. And the bronze medal at the 2014 World Championship.
After German reunification, West Germany (1949β1990) was renamed Germany and they absorbed East Germany (1949β1990) with the "records." Since 1992 they have appeared at the Olympic Games on two occasions, finishing with a ninth place at Beijing 2008 and a fifth place at London 2012. However, "Germany have enjoyed some recent success on the continental stage," winning gold at the 2015 European Games and silver at the 2017 European Championship. Before reunification, East Germany finished fourth at Mexico City 1968, before winning the silver medal at Munich 1972. East Germany were also crowned FIVB World Champions in 1970 and clinched the FIVB World Cup in 1969.
