Germany competed at the2016 Summer Paralympics inRio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 7 September to 18 September 2016. The first places the team qualified were for four athletes in sailing events. They also qualified athletes in archery, cycling, equestrian, paracanoeing, paratriathlon, rowing and wheelchair basketball.

One source of funding and support for Germany's Paralympic efforts through to the Rio Games is a local partnership withAllianz.^[2]

Every participant at the Paralympics has their disability grouped into one of fivedisability categories;amputation, the condition may be congenital or sustained through injury or illness;cerebral palsy;wheelchair athletes, there is often overlap between this and other categories;visual impairment, includingblindness;Les autres, any physical disability that does not fall strictly under one of the other categories, for exampledwarfism ormultiple sclerosis.^[3][4] EachParalympic sport then has its own classifications, dependent upon the specific physical demands of competition. Events are given a code, made of numbers and letters, describing the type of event and classification of the athletes competing. Some sports, such asathletics, divide athletes by both the category and severity of their disabilities, other sports, for exampleswimming, group competitors from different categories together, the only separation being based on the severity of the disability.^[5]
