Friedrich Freiherr von Loeffelholz von Colberg (born March 7, 1955 in Nuremberg ; † October 2, 2017 ) was a German cyclist and university lecturer .

Athletic career

Friedrich von Loeffelholz, known as Rad-Baron , came from the Löffelholz von Kolberg family . In 1976 he started the team time trial at the Olympic Games in Montreal and finished fourth with the German team ( Hans-Peter Jakst , Olaf Paltian and Peter Weibel ). The team was only 15 seconds behind the Danish who won the bronze medal. To his disappointment, however, he was not nominated for the individual race despite a strong performance in this race. In 1978 he was German champion in the amateur road race , and in 1980 third. He drove for the RSG Nürnberg (formerly RSG Franken Katzwang ), which he co-founded in 1970. When the club was renamed RSG-Hercules Nuremberg , there was a dispute with the Bund Deutscher Radfahrer (BDR) after the national team riders, like vonöffelholz, insisted on using their own sponsorship material. The drivers were then excluded from the national team.

Professional

Von Loeffelholz initially trained as a toolmaker and then studied mechanical engineering at RWTH Aachen University, where he also received his doctorate . Since 1995, von Loeffelholz has been a professor at the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt in the field of ERP systems . He headed the Steinbeis Transfer Center for Information and Communication Technology he founded in Schweinfurt . As a co-organizer of cycle races, such as the Mainfranken Tour until 2007, he was still involved in sports.
