The Porsche Arena and the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle were selected as the venues . The Porsche Arena was the main venue with a capacity of around 6000 spectators.

Germany won gold three times: Wu Jiaduo won gold in the women's singles, Timo Boll / Christian Süß defended their title in the men's doubles , and the men's team also became European champions.

Allocation of the venue

On July 20, 2008, the Presidium of the German Table Tennis Association decided in a conference to award the European Championship to Stuttgart. In addition to Stuttgart, Bremen had also applied for the Stadthalle Bremen as a venue. Since events like the EM 2000 , WM 2006 and the German Open have taken place almost exclusively in the north and east of Germany in the past few years , the decision was made against Bremen and Stuttgart. The last time Stuttgart hosted the European Championship in 1992 .
