Littler has already racked up over £700,000 in prize money in 2025.
The Nuke has wowed fans with some scintillating performances, smashing records along the way.
But German fans will not be able to watch Littler strut his stuff at the SACHSENarena.
Littler has chosen to take the weekend off amidst a packed schedule.
World No1 Luke Humphries will be in attendance, along with Premier League stars Rob Cross, Nathan Aspinall and Gerwyn Price.
Littler has been in electric form since winning his maiden PDC world title on January 3.
He will however appear in Berlin on Thursday in Week 5 of the Premier League.
The Nuke bagged £500,000 for beating Michael van Gerwen 7-3 at Ally Pally.

He has also pocketed £40,000 for winning four nights in the Premier League.
And he received another six-figure payout for his triumph at the UK Open.
Littler has earned a whopping £8,000 PER DAY during a stunning trophy-laden three-week spell.
In total, including his displays at two ProTours in Leicester, he earned £166,000 in prize money between February 28 and March 20.
He has also received a set of £30,000 18ct gold darts from bookies BetMGM for his stunning 9-darter against MVG earlier this month.
Away from the oche, Littler was recently spotted alongside rumoured girlfriend Faith Millar.

Littler is said to have “grown close” with the beautician over the last month.
Faith is from Wigan, just 15 miles from the darts star’s Warrington home.
Both Littler and Faith are said to have played down their friendship, emphatically insisting that they are not in a romantic relationship.
Littler’s team declined to comment on the matter when approached by SunSport.
