The Germany women's national field hockey team represents the unified Germany since 1991 in the international field hockey competitions. The team, coached for three years by Markus Weise (2003–2006), made history when it surprisingly won the gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, by defeating the Netherlands in the final. Before unification it was mainly West Germany that competed at the highest level in women's field hockey.
