Witches and wizards from Germany[]

Important witches and wizards from Germany included:

Magical games and sports[]

Köln

Cologne, a major city in Germany

In medieval Germany, the ancient game of Stichstock, a forerunner of modern Quidditch, was popular. The players had to puncture an inflated dragon bladder that was tied to a pole with the sharpened ends of their broomsticks. The bladder was defended by another player. The game died out in the 14th century.[3]

Quidditch became popular on the continent, and thus probably also in Germany, by the early 15th century. The Heidelberg Harriers were a well-known professional German Quidditch team.[4] Their seven-day match against the Holyhead Harpies of 1953 was widely reckoned to be one of the finest ever seen. After the Harpies beat the Harriers, Harriers' Captain Rudolf Brand proposed to the Harpies' Captain and was hit over the head with her Cleansweep Five.

The broomstick manufacturing company Ellerby and Spudmore resided in the Black Forest, but their brooms were never successful in professional Quidditch.

Germany also had its own national Quidditch stadium.

An illuminated manuscript dating back to early Medieval Ages that depicted three warlocks dismounting from their brooms was found in Germany.[5]

Magical education[]

Based on their geographical proximity to the school, German wizards and witches presumably had the option to attend Durmstrang Institute.

Magical government[]

Germany had its own Ministry of Magic.

By the 1920s, Aurors from Germany were active in the wizarding world.[6]
