Digital and Computational Archaeology (DCA) is a rapidly evolving field in Germany, and this paper aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the term and its usage in the German context. The second part of the paper examines the state of higher education in DCA in Germany, analyzing the available courses and academic positions. The paper is supported by a statistical overview of German DCA courses, compiled using data from the IANUS research data center. We then provide a critical analysis and contextualization of the teaching hotspots and developments over the last 10 years. Finally, we present recent developments to provide an outlook on the future of the DCA landscape in Germany.
