East German rower
Ursula Unger
Born (1953-10-25 ) 25 October 1953 (age 70) Sport Rowing Club
SG Dynamo Potsdam
Ursula Unger (
née Wagner , later Maek , born 25 October 1953) is a rower who competed for East Germany during the 1970s.
Under her maiden name, she became East German national champion with the coxed quad scull in 1973.
[1] She also competed in the double scull at the nationals alongside her
SG Dynamo Potsdam team mate
Roswietha Reichel and they came second.
[2] The championship title qualified the quad scull team for the
1973 European Rowing Championships where they won gold.
[3] For women, the European Championships were the top rowing event to win until 1973 as women's rowing was not introduced to
world championships in 1974 or
Olympic Games in 1976 . For their sporting success, the gold medallists were all given an award in January 1974; Wagner was given a
Master of Sport award.
[4] At the 1974 national championships, Wagner's quad scull abandoned the race (the sources do not give the background)
[1]
[5] but they were nominated for the
1974 World Rowing Championships regardless.
[6] They were successful and were one of four East German teams to take out inaugural world championship titles for female rowers.
[7] In November 1974, the world champions were awarded a
Patriotic Order of Merit in bronze (third class); Unger was listed under her married name.
[8]
For the 1975 rowing season,
Sybille Tietze was replaced by
Anke Grünberg but the other members of the coxed quad scull team remained.
[9] The team won the national championships
[1] and then defended their world championship title at the
1975 World Rowing Championships in
Nottingham , Great Britain.
