The 2023 German Darts Championship was the thirteenth of thirteen PDC European Tour events on the 2023 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at Halle 39, Hildesheim, Germany from 13 to 15 October 2023. It featured a field of 48 players and £175,000 in prize money, with £30,000 going to the winner.
The defending champion was Michael van Gerwen, who defeated Rob Cross 8–5 in the 2022 final,[1] but he lost 6–7 to Ricardo Pietreczko in the semi-finals.
Pietreczko won his first European Tour and his first PDC ranking title as well, defeating Peter Wright 8–4 in the final.[2] He became only the second German player to win a PDC ranking title, and the first since Max Hopp in 2019.
