Germany has won the FIFA World Cup four times in total, but they have only won the tournament once as a unified country.

Germany’s four World Cup victories came in 1954, 1974, 1990, and 2014. The 1954 victory was won by the West German national team, which was composed of players from the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). The 1974, 1990, and 2014 victories were won by the unified German national team, which was composed of players from both the FRG and the German Democratic Republic (GDR).

The GDR (also known as East Germany) was a socialist state that was established in the aftermath of World War II and was part of the Soviet Union’s sphere of influence. It was dissolved in 1990, when the FRG and the GDR were reunified as the Federal Republic of Germany.

The German national team has a long and successful history in international soccer, and their four World Cup victories rank them among the most successful teams in the history of the tournament. They have also won four UEFA European Championships and have reached the final of the World Cup on a total of eight occasions.
