Pre-Open Era winners are included for tournament history only. They are excluded from TennisDB match and player statistics, title totals, and leaderboards.
The archive follows the Bavarian International Championships ancestry of today's Munich event. The inaugural event was played on grass before the later clay-court era, so no single surface is assigned to the historical rows. Years absent from the surviving incomplete roll are labeled as unavailable, not as non-editions.
