Ernst Steinhauer
Ernst Steinhauer (born December 9, 1925 , † November 8, 2005 in Neckargerach ) was a German canoeist.
Career
Ernst Steinhauer came from Mannheim . Since he was interested in canoeing from a young age, he became a member of the Mannheim RC , where he trained in both single and double kayaks. As he soon - together with his club mate Meinrad Miltenberger - achieved top performances in the two-man kayak, both were accepted into the German national canoe team. With this team both took part in the Canoe World Championships in 1954, where they won first place in a two-person kayak over 500 m and thus became world champions in this discipline. For this victory, both were awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf by Federal President Theodor Heuss on July 26, 1954 . Ernst Steinhauser also took part in the 1956 Olympic Games, this time in a single kayak. He reached eighth place over 1000 m.
Steinhauer died in 2005 at the age of 79.
