The German Ice Hockey Federation (German: Deutscher Eishockey-Bund), commonly abbreviated as DEB, is the governing federation of German ice hockey associations. It was established on June 16, 1963. Until 1990 it served only the Federal Republic of Germany and West Berlin. Until the establishment of the DEB, ice hockey was one of many different ice and winter sports overseen by the Deutschen Eissport-Verband.
The German Ice Hockey Federation took over the responsibility for the supra-regional leagues (especially the Bundesliga) and for the national team. It became the additional West German representative in the International Ice Hockey Federation.
