The Feldhockey Bundesliga is the top level of women's field hockey in Germany and is organized by the German Hockey Federation.

The season starts in August or September and is interrupted by the indoor hockey season from November to March.

Since the 2011–12 season the league was played by twelve teams who played each other twice and who competed for four spots in the championship play-offs.

The number one and four and the number two and three played each other in the semi-final and winners qualified for the final where the winner was crowned champion.
