For the second time after 2013, the European Championships in carom took place in Brandenburg an der Havel. With the various European championships in pool and carom, the city is an important venue for European billiards.

As with the tournament two years earlier, all disciplines, all age groups and all genders were combined in one tournament. The number of participants was over 500 players.
