The International Women's Tennis Championships (German Open) are an official WTA tournament that continues to this day. Steffi Graf is the record winner of this tournament. The women's competitions were always held in Hamburg at the Rothenbaum until 1978. From 1979 onwards, this tournament was held in Berlin. This "challenge trophy" was established in 1974 and awarded starting in 1975. When the tournament moved from Hamburg to Berlin, this challenge cup continued until 1985. A challenge cup remains in the possession of the winner for only one year and must then be returned to the new winner. In 1985, after Chris Evert Lloyd's victory, this challenge cup was discontinued, as it was a rather modest trophy. It was then presumably returned to its founder in Hamburg. The challenge cup was acquired at an auction on July 16, 2025. It is said to have come from the collection of a Hamburg collector. Condition: A
