The hall honors individuals who have contributed to ice hockey in Germany, and displays memorabilia depicting contributions of players, coaches, referees, and other important figures in the sport.
History
editIn 1988, Roman Neumayer and Horst Eckert co-founded the German Ice Hockey Museum and German Ice Hockey Hall of Fame.[1] The exhibits toured German cities inclulding Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Mannheim, and Landshut until 1993; and were displayed during the 1993 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships in Munich. The exhibits were stored in Füssen until 1999, when Neumayer suggested a permanent museum in Augsburg.[2] The IIHF since declared it was one of the four best ice hockey museums in Europe.[1]
