The Germans took until the 33rd minute to strike for the first time, but went on to secure a comfortable victory.
Austria's men's national ice hockey team started the Deutschland Cup in Düsseldorf with a defeat, falling 3-0 to the host nation.
The game remained tight for over half the playing time before the Germans finally broke through on the power play via Loibl (33'). Ugbekile (40') added a second shortly before the second intermission.
Stachowiak (48') sealed the win in the final period.
In the parallel fixture earlier in the day, Latvia defeated Slovakia 3-2 after overtime. Slovakia will be the ÖEHV team's next opponent on Saturday.
