The Mercedes-Benz Championship is a European Tour men's professional golf tournament played in Germany and hosted and promoted by Germany's greatest golfer Bernhard Langer and his brother Erwin.

The tournament was played as the German Masters from 1987 to 2005. From 1987 to 1993 it was played in Stuttgart. It then moved to Berlin from 1994 to 1997, and from 1998 to 2005 it was played at Golfclub Gut Lärchenhof in Cologne. The prize fund was €3 million in 2005, meaning that the German Masters was one of the richer events on the European Tour at that time outside of the major championships and the three individual World Golf Championships events. In 2005 it was one of three European Tour events held in Germany, alongside the Deutsche Bank Players Championship of Europe and the BMW International Open.

After a one year break in 2006 the tournament is returning to the European Tour schedule in 2007. It will have a maximum field of 75 consisting of players who have either won tournaments on the European Tour in 2007 or are in the top 75 of the Official World Golf Rankings or in the top 60 of the European Order of Merit. It will be played in mid-September in a week vacated by the shifting of the HSBC World Match Play Championship to an October slot. It will clash with the PGA Tour's Tour Championship, so many leading players will be unavailable, and the prize fund on its return will be €2 million, one third less than it was in 2005.
