1 athletes from Austria who, after the Anschluss (March 1938), appeared at the European Championship in 1939 for the German Reich.
The triple German success in the couples category in 1939 is the only instance so far where athletes from a united Germany took all three places on the podium at a European figure skating championship. Also in 1961 , German figure skaters won all three medals (again in the pairs competition), but at that time gold and silver went to the Federal Republic, bronze to the GDR.
