Ernst Rudolph (born August 15, 1918 in Gladbeck ; † September 14, 1986 in Cologne ) was a German carom player in the cadre and three cushion disciplines .
Career
Rudolph was a 17-time German champion, two-time vice European champion and, in the 1950s and 1960s, an important player. Together with Walter Lütgehetmann , August Tiedtke , Siegfried Spielmann and later Dieter Müller , he set the tone in the German billiards scene in his time. He is the father of the three-cushion world champion Christian Rudolph . Father Rudolph laid his son's passion for billiards almost in his cradle. For his baptism he gave him the first cue . In Cologne he ran two billiard salons, where father and son practiced the game.
His first participation in the German Championship (DM) in Cadre 45/2, in Hanover in 1939, he crowned with the title. In the same year he won the first of 8 German championship titles in three cushion. His second participation in the European Championship (EM) in the free game , in 1954 in Lisbon, brought him to fourth place.
At the first DM, 1952, in Cadre 47/1, there was only one torso tournament due to multiple rejections. There were exactly two participants and so a game was played on 300 points. Rudolph lost to Gerd Thielens and was “last” of the tournament as a silver medalist. The following year the tide turned and he won both championships.
In the DM 1951 in cadre 71/2 it was 300 points 299: 300 for Lütgehetmann. Rudolph had the follow-up and wanted to handle it with two gangs. After the usual swing, after the second fence, the ball just missed Ball III . So he was only third in the tournament behind August Tiedtke .
Ernst Rudolph won his last title at the age of 54 at the 39th German three-cushion championship in 1972 in Westerholt.
In terms of character, he was considered to be a calm, steady and persistent player who did not let himself be disturbed even after defeat and who was then able to win a tournament.
