  H1 and ZEUS have published single-differential cross sections for inclusive
D^{*\pm}-meson production in deep-inelastic ep scattering at HERA from their
respective final data sets. These cross sections are combined in the common
visible phase-space region of photon virtuality Q2 > 5 GeV2, electron
inelasticity 0.02 < y < 0.7 and the D^{*\pm} meson's transverse momentum pT
(D^*) > 1.5 GeV and pseudorapidity |eta(D^*)| < 1.5. The combination procedure
takes into account all correlations, yielding significantly reduced
experimental uncertainties. Double-differential cross sections d2s /dQ2dy are
combined with earlier D^{*\pm} data, extending the kinematic range down to Q2 >
1.5 GeV2. Perturbative next-to-leadingorder QCD predictions are compared to the
results.
