15 of 15 registered tobogganers were at the start. Natalie Geisenberger won the title for the second time after 2007 and beat Olympic champion Tatjana Hüfner just a touch. Hüfner was still in the lead after the first run. Defending champion Anke Wischnewski was already more than half a second behind the two strongest luge athletes in the world at the time. As expected, the World Cup starters placed themselves in the first six places, up to eighth place the starters of the extended German top followed.

14 of 14 registered tobogganers were at the start. Jan Eichhorn won his second German championship title after 2004 and only narrowly distanced Olympic runner-up David Möller, who missed his third title as well as defending champion Felix Loch his third title in a row. Loch was unable to compete in the second round due to a hip injury and was already back in sixth place after the first round. As expected, the first four places were made up by the other four long-time World Cup starters.
