Great Britain wins relay gold after Jake Wightman takes silver
The men's quartet ran a championship record of 37.67 seconds to beat France and Poland to gold.
However, the women's team could not finish after dropping their baton.
Gold for hosts Germany in the women's 4x100m meant they edged Britain in the final medal table.
Germany finished on 26 golds - two more than Britain - as both nations ended with 60 medals at the end of a thrilling 11 days of competition across nine sports.
In athletics, Britain finished with 20 medals - more than any other nation - with their six golds second to Germany (seven). In 20182, they won 18 awards, including seven golds.
Britain's 1500m world champion Wightman missed out on 800m gold to Spain's Mariano Garcia by just 0.06secs.
The 28-year-old clocked a season's best 44.91 seconds in the two-lap race, as Ireland's Mark English clinched bronze.
The European silver completed a sweep of significant medals this summer for Wightman, who also won Commonwealth 1500m bronze.
"I felt I was in the right place, and I was willing him [Garcia] to come back. I didn't quite have enough to get it at the end," Wightman told BBC Sport.
"I went into this thinking I could win, but coming away with silver is a nice way to end my season."
