Overview
The tournament originated as the German Open, a ranking event that was held from 1995 to 1997. The inaugural German Open champion was John Higgins, who defeated Ken Doherty 9–3 in the 1995 final.[2] After being staged once in 1998 as the non-ranking German Masters, the tournament dropped off the calendar; it was restored in 2011 as the ranking German Masters.[3][4] The first winner of the tournament after its revival was Mark Williams, who defeated Mark Selby 9–7 in the 2011 final.[5] In 2021, the tournament trophy was named the Brandon Parker Trophy in memory of the late manager, promoter, and World Snooker Tour director who first brought the tournament to Berlin's Tempodrom in 2011. Parker had died from cancer in 2020.[6]
The 2027 edition of the tournament—its 17th consecutive staging since its revival in 2011—will take place from 26 January to 1 February at the Tempodrom in Berlin, Germany.[1][7] Qualifying will take place from 16 to 19 November at the Robin Park Centre in Wigan, England.[8] It will be the 12th ranking event of the 2026–27 snooker season, following the 2026 Scottish Open and preceding the 2027 Welsh Open.[9] Judd Trump is the defending champion, having defeated Shaun Murphy 10–4 in the 2026 final.[10]
