Attendees

Sixteen duos each took part in the German championship for men and women. The teams with the most points in the DVV ranking were qualified . The players had to have completed at least four tournaments of the smart beach tour or higher tournaments. Jonas Schröder did not meet this requirement and was therefore not allowed to play. Instead, his partner Tim Holler competed with Stefan Windscheif. The defending champion Clemens Wickler was absent due to an injury, which is why Armin Dollinger played with Yannick Harms.
