The 4th table tennis world championship took place from January 21st to 26th, 1930 in Berlin ( Germany ). It was also the first table tennis world championship in Germany. The DTTB President Georg Lehmann was particularly committed to this .

The games were played during the day in the A. Wertheim department store and in the evening in the Great Hall of the Brothers Association House on Kurfürstenstrasse. Yugoslavia did not take part this time, but India entered again . So again 10 men's teams were represented.

Hungary won almost all team fights 5-0, only against Germany they lost an individual: Nikita Madjaroglou , a native of Greece , won against the Hungarian Miklós Szabados .

In the absence of defending champion Fred Perry (GB), the legendary Victor Barna became world champion for the first time. In the women's category, Mária Mednyánszky (Hungary) won the World Championship for the fourth time in a row.

Cutting off the Germans

The German team won against India 5: 4, Lithuania 5: 1 and Wales 5: 0, which was enough for 7th place. In the mixed, Ingeborg Carnatz came third together with Sándor Glancz .

Lilli Maria Peiser , who later became known as actress Lilli Palmer , lost in the round of 16 of the individual competition against future world champion Mária Mednyánszky .

In the men's category, Misha Zabludowski lost to Englishman Proffit, Deutelmoser won against T.Williams (Wales), Brainos against Todd (England), Nikita Madjaroglou against Hookins, Herbert Caro against Henry Wilbert (Sweden) and Hans-Georg Lindenstaedt against Pirzada (India) .
