Germany repeated last year's success when opening the World Cup ski jumping season with a home win at Klingenthal on Saturday.
The Olympic champions led by Severin Freund prevailed with a total of 1021.9 points ahead of Slovenia and Austria.
Switzerland, featuring seven-time Olympic champion Simon Ammann, had to make do with a lowly seventh place.
