Claus Cassens

Claus Cassens (born July 27, 1945 in Dresden ) is a former German badminton player .

Career

Claus Cassens began his career at SG Gittersee in Dresden. During his military service in 1972/1973 he played for progress Tröbitz and during this time achieved his first major sporting success with silver at the GDR team championships . The plan of those responsible in Tröbitz to commit him to another commitment in Lusatia, however, turned out to be a miscalculation. Cassens went back to Dresden after the end of his service and took from the Niederlausitzers their star Monika Thiere as wife to Saxony . In a joint mixed with Monika, he also won his only GDR championship title in 1974. Two years later, both were delegated to the new HSG Lok HfV Dresden performance center.
