The 39th International Tennis Championships in Germany took place from July 31 to August 8, 1937 on the Rothenbaum in Hamburg .
Because of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, the tournament was not held last year.
Defending champion Gottfried von Cramm was eliminated in the round of 16 against John Bromwich . In return, Henner Henkel won the tournament in the final against Vivian McGrath . Von Cramm did not compete in the men's doubles, so the defending champions Hans Denker and Henner Henkel played together again, but this time they failed in the quarter-finals to the British Don Butler and Frank Wilde , who in turn lost to the two Australians Jack Crawford and Vivian McGrath in the final . The semi-finals The Austrian Georg von Metaxa reached singles .
