Kittel won Sunday's freestyle final, but there was a small margin of victory.
In total, he was almost four percent better than second place Johanna DueBoje with the horse Mazy Klövenhöj.
The bronze went to Marina Mattsson with Quartermain.
Mattsson was second in the freestyle.
The winner Kittel lacked the atmosphere in Strömsholm.
