Tournament course
In the preliminary round, the favored teams prevailed in their home games, with two exceptions: The narrow success of the Baden champion from Leutershausen at the West German runner-up SV Westerholt was surprising, the clear success of the Gummersbacher in Berlin at the BSV 1892 was a sensation, after all the Berliners became German indoor handball champions in spring.
The intermediate round then brought the big death of favorites of the North German DHB old masters. Both the THW Kiel and the defending champion SV Police Hamburg were defeated by their opponents from Gummersbach and Leutershausen : The THW was always behind in the away game against Gummersbach; the hamburgers on the other hand looked at halftime before 6,000 spectators in Weinheim still like the winner of (6: 3 out of Hamburg view) before they had to close defeat the greater use of SGL. As in the preliminary round, Bayer Leverkusen clearly prevailed and also underlined their role as favorites against Zuffenhausen.
After Leverkusen played dizzy in the semifinals in Stuttgart Göppingen, while Leutershausen ultimately defeated Gummersbach clearly but more difficultly, the West Champion was the favorite in the final against the North Baden village club - and was able to confirm this role impressively.
