History
In 1899, the first edition of the tournament was held by the tennis club Münchner Tennis- und Turnierclub (MTTC) Iphitos,[5] which was the first tennis club in Munich having been formed in 1892 by students.[1] The club only had grass courts, and the first edition was therefore played on grass. The tournament was founded as a combined men's and women's event, until 1973 when the women's tournament was discontinued. From 1969 the tournament was also branded as the Bavarian Open.[1]
The Center Court of the MTTC has been in Aumeisterweg since 1930, and holds 5,600 people. The tournament has offered prize money since 1970, when the total prizes amounted to $20,000. From 2025, this tournament will be upgraded to an ATP 500 level event.[6]
