The hotel Molitor was evacuated due to the bomb scare, and the team has moved to another hotel, a police source said Friday.
Hours later, an explosion killed several near the Stade de France where the German team was playing a match against France. Spectators were brought on to the pitch as the stadium was evacuated.
The anonymous call to the hotel came in at 9:50 a.m., leading to a prompt evacuation. Bomb-sniffing dogs searched the area and police established a perimeter.
The team returned to the hotel around 2:00 p.m. after spending time at Roland Garros, the tennis stadium where the French Open is held.
There is no known connection at this time between the hotel bomb scare and the attacks that struck Paris later that evening.
