History
In 1899, the tournament's first edition was held by the tennis club Münchner Tennis- und Turnierclub (MTTC) Iphitos, which was the first tennis club in Munich having been formed in 1892 by students. 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.
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.
