The 52nd German Athletics Championships were held on June 28 and 29, 1952 in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. The early appointment was necessary because of the Olympic Games in Helsinki , which began on July 19th.
These were the first championships after 1938, in which the athletes were again concerned with qualifying for a major international event. Until then, German sport had remained excluded after the Second World War . The athletes were affected at the European Athletics Championships in Oslo in 1946 and in Brussels in 1950 , as well as the 1948 Olympic Games in London . The competitions had a very special charm and there were four German records:
- Werner Lueg : 1500 m - 3: 43.0 min
- Helmut Gude : 3000 m obstacle - 8: 50.0 min
- Karl Storch : hammer throw - 59.44 m
- Gertrud Kille : Shot put - 14.61 m.
As in previous years, several more championship titles were awarded at various other locations:
- Forest run (men) - Bietigheim , April 13th on a route with individual and team evaluation
- Marathon (men) - Neustadt / Weinstrasse , June 8th with individual and team evaluation
- 50 km street walking (men) - Hamburg , June 8th with individual and team classification
- All- around competitions (women: pentathlon ) / (men: pentathlon and decathlon ), each with individual ratings and
all relay races - Hamm , 16./17. August
The men's pentathlon , which previously comprised the first day of the decathlon as the so-called “German pentathlon” , was replaced for the first time by the international pentathlon with the disciplines long jump, javelin throw, 200 m, discus throw, 1500 m.
