The German Three Cushion Championship 1947 (DDM) was the 15th edition of this tournament series and took place from May 7th to 11th, 1947 in Solingen , North Rhine-Westphalia .
history
It was the first championship after the Second World War organized by the German Billiards Association (DBB) founded in 1945 . After the war, most of the players had either fallen, taken prisoner of war, or had to do with buying their daily bread, so that sport was not given priority in the first years of peace. In addition, many venues and tables were destroyed, the remaining ones were "processed" into heating material.
In 1946, Hamburg was the first to organize its first tournament (Hamburg championship from 1946). Since the DABV no longer existed and the formation of associations was still forbidden by the Allies, a “working committee” was set up to host and sponsor the tournaments. In order to bring the well-known top players August Tiedtke, Gerd Thielens, Siegfried Spielmann and others from the various Allied zones to Hamburg, they were simply declared as members of these working committees. In 1947 the allies lifted the association ban, but limited it to the respective zone.
Also August Tiedtke was used for armed service, this had but survived unharmed, was quickly back to its familiar power and became the first "post-war three-band master." For the first time, his younger brother Gert also took part in the championship and immediately came third, although his discipline was more the art push. Siegfried Spielmann from Düsseldorf also took part for the first time. Due to August Tiedtke's superiority, it was not until 1967 (Spielmann) and 1978 (G. Tiedtke) that both succeeded in winning the title.
As expected, August Tiedge secured two of the three tournament bests with only one draw against Ernst Halbach, namely the best general average ( GD) and the best individual average (BED) of 1.136. It was only the third BED over 1,000 in tournament history. However, he did not come close to his own tournament record of 1.315 from 1941. The best performance in the top series (HS) with 8 points went to Ernst Halbach, as well as the title of runner-up and to Walter Feller.
