GDR internationals
The first international that the East German team played was in 1951 in Bucharest against the Romanians, but there was also a game the previous year against the West German DRV. The GDR lost 26-64 to the Romanians. The East Germans played mostly against Eastern Bloc countries, meaning that they often gained respectable scores.
The GDR also played the Netherlands once, twice against Sweden and Denmark, before their dissolution in 1990, with one last test match against Luxembourg
An der Europameisterschaft der FIRA beteiligte sich die DDR nicht, nahm aber mehrmals an Vier-Länder-Turnieren teil: 1961 im tschechischen Brno (Brünn), 1964 in Malmö (Schweden), 1978 und 1979 in Bulgarien (Warna bzw. Nessebar), 1983 erneut in Bulgariens Schwarzmeer-Badeort Warna.
