The history of sport in Germany

Launched in the USA in 1985, STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® made its way to Europe in the early 2000s. With the national championship in 2001, Germany was one of the first countries on the continent to hold official TIMBERSPORTS® competitions. Since then, competitive woodcutting has developed steadily in Germany: In addition to the improved sporting structures, STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® enjoys greater popularity in the media and among its fans from year to year. These fans not only fill the spectator stands on site, but also follow the competitions via livestream from all over the world.
