Info We assume that the 2nd Round is complete since Dibley and Elschenbroich very probably had a bye in this weak draw ( 11 of the 21 players originated from the 2 Bundesliga clubs LTTC Rot-Weiss Berlin and TC Blau-Weiss Berlin).
Nevertheless,the tournament had a price money of DM 26.000.

Christian Kuhnke took the last singles title of his long and successfull career and a price money of DM 5000. In 1974 he played his last tournament season. For the rest of his career he performed only in the Tennis Bundesliga.
