The DFB's decision to make the announcement from the restaurant at the summit of the Zugspitze, Germany's tallest mountain, reflects its location on the border with Austria, who of course are Euro 2008's joint hosts.

"We wanted to give the selection location some geographical significance with Austria and Switzerland, the two nations hosting the event," said Germany's team manager Oliver Bierhoff.

The three times European champions have been drawn in Group B with Austria, Poland and Croatia. Loew recently said that around 40 players were still in the running for the coveted 23 spots in the German team.
