With Joerg Heinrich having to pull out of the German squad after picking up an injury, Schalke 04 player Boehme was brought in as a replacement.
However, Germany's injury jinx struck Boehme and he returned home midway through the tournament with a leg muscle tear.
Boehme has only six caps but has impressed German coach Rudi Voeller.
"It's come as quite a surprise. Of course I'm happy andproud to be going," said Bohme.
Boehme performed well at the end of the current Bundesliga season.
He scored a spectacular goal against Bayer Leverkusen that helpedSchalke capture the German Cup for the second straightyear.
