BSG Stahl Calbe - SG Dynamo Hall 11: 8 (6: 5)

BSG Stahl Calbe entered the game as the defending champion and was considered the favorite over SG Dynamo Halle, which had never been in the final in field handball. However, thanks to good running work and lively attacks, the Halle team quickly started 4-0. But the outstanding national player Werner Assmann ensured that BSG Stahl took the lead 6: 5 for the first time before the half-time break. After that, the people's police became nervous and unfocused, while the steelworkers used their powerful attack game to further expand the lead and kept the opposing attackers at bay by cleverly switching between space and man covering. these also failed due to goalkeeper Ernst Napp, who increased during the game.
