The Deutschland Tour is Germany's only stage race for the men's elite. In 2023 it starts with a short time trial as a prologue in St. Wendel and then goes over 4 stages through the west of Germany to the Hanseatic city of Bremen. Stage 1 leads through the mountainous north of the Saarland from St. Wendel to Merzig. Afterwards, the route leads from Kassel to Winterberg and from Arnsberg to Essen. The final stage starts in Hanover, the capital of Lower Saxony, and ends with a sprint royal in the Überseequartier of the Hanseatic city of Bremen.
