Horst Meyer

This biography portrays Olympic rowing champion Horst Meyer as a personality whose life encompassed a wide range of goals, areas of activity and achievements. His sporting career stood out, placing him at the forefront of those who helped write the history of sport. We remember a sportsman and businessman who lived in the north of Germany and spent his life traveling through two worlds: the Olympic world and a divided and torn economic and political world. During these sporting, business and political journeys, Horst Meyer has always sought a humane route through the difficulties he has encountered.
