Ernst Winter (born October 30, 1907 in Frankfurt am Main , † 1943 near Stalingrad ) was a German gymnast . His hometown club was Eintracht Frankfurt .
At the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin , he won the gold medal in the all-round team with the German team. In addition, he was at the Gymnastics World Championships in Budapest in 1934 world champion on the horizontal bar and third in the team all- around competition. This made Winter the first German gymnast to win World Cup gold. At the German championships in 1931, 1932, 1934 and 1935 and at the German Gymnastics Festival in Stuttgart in 1933 , he took second place in the individual all-around competition.
During the Second World War , his military service as a grenadier took him to the Eastern Front , where he still addressed a personal message to his family on January 20, 1943. He has been missing since the end of the Battle of Stalingrad ; presumably he died in captivity.
