West Germany competed at the Summer Olympic Games as a separate nation from East Germany for five Games between 1968 and 1988. After the division of Germany following World War II, a United Team of Germany had competed at the Olympic Games in 1956, 1960 and 1964, but the two nations sent independent teams after that. After German reunification in 1990, a combined team once again competed at the Olympic Games starting in 1992.
