Germany's Olympic bid wins strong public support DW 11/04/2025

A large majority of Germans are keen to see their country host the Olympic Games again, according to a survey published on Tuesday. The polling was conducted as the German Olympic Sports Confederation seeks to whittle down four candidates to be the venue for Germany's first Summer Olympics in more than five decades. How much does Germany want the Olympics? In a Forsa poll for the news magazine "Stern," 72% said they would welcome a Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Germany for either 2036, 2040 or 2044. Only 22% opposed the idea, while 6% gave no opinion.
