Albert Brehme was supposed to compete in the two-man bobsleigh with Fritz Grau at the 1932 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid . During training, however, there was a fall in which Brehme was seriously injured and therefore could not compete, even the mayor of New York Jimmy Walker visited the athletes in the hospital. Four years later at the Winter Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , the two took sixth place. Brehme was German champion in 1934 with gray in the two-man bobsleigh, and in the five-man bobsleigh in 1929 for the
Berliner SC . He was also able to win two bronze medals at the bobsleigh and skeleton world championships, in the four-man bobsleigh in 1930 and in the two-man bobsleigh in 1933 .
