There were seven competitions for men and five for women, and the most successful nation was East Germany with five gold medals across the twelve boat classes. As World Rowing Championships were still held at four-year intervals at the time, the European Rowing Championships were open to nations outside of Europe and had become to be regarded as quasi-world championships. Men competed in all seven Olympic boat classes (M1x: 17 boats; M2x: 16 boats; M2-: 13 boats; M2+: 20 boats; M4-: 15 boats; M4+: 18 boats; M8+: 16 boats), and 120 boats were entered in total.Schwere Vorlauf-Gegner http://zefys.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/ddr-presse/ergebnisanzeige/?purl=SNP26120215-19710818-0-8-277-0&highlight=Kopenhagen%7CRuderer%7CRuder%7C1971%7C08 29 December 2017 Berliner Zeitung 27 227 18 August 1971 8 de 29 December 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20171229172207/http://zefys.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/ddr-presse/ergebnisanzeige/?purl=SNP26120215-19710818-0-8-277-0&highlight=Kopenhagen%7CRuderer%7CRuder%7C1971%7C08 dead The women's championships were held from 12 to 15 August,Waldemar Sydow Alles offen auf dem Baasvaerd-See http://zefys.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/ddr-presse/ergebnisanzeige/?purl=SNP26120215-19710811-0-8-122-0&highlight=Kopenhagen%7CRuder-EM%7CRuder%7C1971%7C08 29 December 2017 Berliner Zeitung 27 220 11 August 1971 8 de 29 December 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20171229172241/http://zefys.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/ddr-presse/ergebnisanzeige/?purl=SNP26120215-19710811-0-8-122-0&highlight=Kopenhagen%7CRuder-EM%7CRuder%7C1971%7C08 dead and 49 boats were entered from 17 countries.
