The Pole Mieczysław Rybarczyk won the men's singles and the Soviet players Evgeni Bobojedow and Valeri Pestschanko the men's doubles. The remaining competitions were dominated by players from the GDR. Brigitte Hoffmann won the women's singles against Veronika Koch in the final . In the semifinals, Hoffmann had won against defending champion Hella Riede , who was still behind in training after the birth of a child. Hoffmann and Riede together won the women's doubles against Bettina Borkert and Veronika Koch. In mixed, Veronika Koch and Thomas Emmrich were successful in the final against Hella Riede and Werner Rautenberg , who thus lost the final for the fourth time in a row.
The tournament suffered from persistently bad weather. Some men's games were therefore only played for two sets of wins and a number of mixed duos, which consisted of GDR players from the second row, had to be forcibly canceled.
For the first time the tie-break was used in this tournament , also in a decisive set. It was held up to 5 points, with a 1 point lead.
