Footballer of the Year (Germany)

The title Footballer of the Year (German: Fußballer des Jahres) has been awarded in West Germany from 1960 to 1990 and Germany since 1991. Eligible are German players as well as non-German players playing in Germany.

In 1996, the title Women's Footballer of the Year (German: Fußballerin des Jahres) was awarded for the first time. Both awards are determined by a poll of German football journalists from the Association of German Sports Journalists (Verband Deutscher Sportjournalisten) and the publication kicker.

The current titleholders are Florian Wirtz of Liverpool and Ann-Katrin Berger of NJ/NY Gotham FC tied with Giulia Gwinn of FC Bayern Munich. In 2004, Brazilian Aílton became the first foreign player to attain the honour.

From 1963 to 1991, the publication Die Neue Fußballwoche awarded the Footballer of the Year for East Germany award.
