Penalty

So far (as of September 9, 2019) were given 128 penalties for Germany in 124 matches. Of these, 102 were converted (80%). The first penalty was in the second match of the German team for 1–1 (final score 1–5). In two matches, there were two penalties for Germany, in two cases both penalties by one player (Fritz Walter World Cup 1954 semi-final and Bastian Schweinsteiger) were converted. Once two players (Torsten Frings and Lukas Podolski were successful iat the same match and once both shooters could not take advantage of it at the same match.

The most common was Michael Ballack for the penalty kick that convert ten of eleven penalties. The most misses recorded Jürgen Klinsmann, who could not convert three of six penalties. 28 penalties were converted by captain (c), most often (7 times) Lothar Matthäus convert as captain.

Penalties were given most often against Bulgaria: 9 in a total of 21 matches, 42% of matches against Bulgaria, of which 8 were converted. Six penalties were given the German team against a reigning world champion, who were all transformed. Thirteen penalties Germany were given as reigning world champion, of which ten could be converted.

In 15 matches, the conversion of the penalty was decisive to the match, where it came four times by the converted penalty after deficit still in a draw and once followed by another penalty. In 36 matches, the converted penalty was the first goal, including in May 1963 the first goal in the first match against world champions Brazil. The opponents managed to draw three times and win the match five times. In seven matches, the converted penalty was the only goal.

Special penalties were the converted penalty by Herbert Burdenski in the first match after World War II as well as the penalty converted by Andreas Brehme in the 1990 World Cup final, which was for the intended penalty taker Lothar Matthäus. This made Germany the first team to be given a penalty in two World Cup finals after Germany became the first team in 1974 to be penalized in a FIFA World Cup final. Even in the quarter-finals of the 1990 World Cup, the converted penalty was the only goal of the match.

51 penalties were converted in friendly matches, 18 in European Championship qualifiers, 11 in World Cup qualifiers and 10 in World Cup matches.

Eleven goalkeepers faced the German penalty kicks twice. Of those, only two penalties could not be converted against Alan Fettis (Northern Ireland). John Bonello (Malta) and Borislav Mikhailov (Bulgaria) were each able to hold a penalty.

Most penalties were given by Italian and Swiss referees (11 each), with the Swiss referees running just over half as many matches as the Italians (55 vs. 109). Also two of the three German referees, who led a match of the German team, gave a penalty for Germany. In both cases, the penalties were not decisive to the match because both ended 5:1 - once for the England (Am.) and once for the German team against Croatia. The Italian Nicola Rizzoli is the only referee to have scored three penalties for the German team - including two in one match. He also gave a penalty against Germany. Overall, he has given at least 12 penalties in 38 internationals with European teams. Nine referees whistled twice in favor of Germany a penalty.

Penalty shoot-out

So far, the German team has had to make eight matches on the penalty shootout, six of them were won and two lost. Germany and Argentina are the only teams that have won penalties four times each in World Cups, but Argentina only five times, Germany, however, only four times and thus the only team ever, which stood more than once in a penalty shootout at a World Cup, a 100% win rate in this discipline. Consequently, Argentina suffered his only defeat in a penalty shootout at a World Cup against Germany. The most successful shooters are Andreas Brehme, Pierre Littbarski, Lothar Matthäus and Olaf Thon with two penalties each. But Lothar Matthäus is also one of the bad shooters. Harald Schumacher is the most successful goalkeeper with four penalties. Sepp Maier (1976) and Eike Immel (1988) are the only goalkeepers who could not hold a penalty in a penalty shoot-out. Four times all German shooter were successful, in three cases only four German shooter had to compete because the decision had already been made before the fifth German shooter had to compete. Even with the two lost penalties the fifth shooter did not have to compete because the decision had already been made. In two cases (1982 and 1996) the additional sixth German shooter scored the victory, in 2016 only the ninth shooter.

Sending off

So far, 25 German players have been sent off in a match, five of them are yellow-red card fram 1991. The first was Hans Kalb in the match against Uruguay on June 3, 1928 at the Olympic Games 1928, which thus also became the first captain of the German team is. Jérôme Boateng was the first player to be dismissed in his first international match on October 10, 2009, in Moscow against Russia.[2] The first German player to see the red card used since 1970 in a match was Thomas Berthold on June 21, 1986 in WC 1986 Quarter final against Mexico. Thomas Berthold is also the first German international who has twice been sent off. Furthermore, Jérôme Boateng, Carsten Ramelow and Christian Wörns were sent off the field twice, Ramelow once and Boateng twice by a yellow-red card. Boateng is also the last player to be sent off: on 23 June 2018 in the World Cup preliminary round against Sweden. Ron-Robert Zieler was the first goalkeeper on 15 August 2012 in the match against Argentina.

Most of the players were sent off in the match against Uruguay on June 3, 1928, along with German national players Hans Kalb, Richard Hofmann and the Uruguayan José Nasazzi.

Two German players were sent off after a substitution: Ulf Kirsten and Bastian Schweinsteiger.
