The DCB was created in 1988[1] in a document signed by eight German cricket clubs.

It is also a member of the ICC Europe (earlier the European Cricket Council).

[2] Germany's first separate cricket body, the Deutscher Cricket Bund (DCB), representing teams from Berlin, Nuremberg, Furth, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Mannheim and Hamburg was formed in 1912.

Today, there are over 100 cricket clubs across Germany,[4] with nearly 3000 players registered in total.

[5] With an influx of new cricketers migrating to Germany from Asia, especially Afghan refugees, and an increase in junior players learning the game inside in Germany, the number of cricketers registered with the DCB is expected to continue to rise.
