^ This is the roster of the German team as given by the International Olympic Committee database. Mallon notes that Petersdorff did not compete. He also claims that contemporary sources support a 4-person roster including Hoppenberg, Hainle, Gustav Lexau, and Ernest Luhrsen; Frey and Schöne are not included in either Mallon or de Wael's list of competitors in the event.
^ Houben did not compete; however, he is listed in the IOC's medal database as part of the Neptune team.
