Georg Lammers
Georg Lammers (born April 14, 1905 in Burhave ; † March 17, 1987 in Butjadingen ) was a German athlete who won the bronze medal in the 100-meter run (10.9 s) and the silver medal in the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam the 4 x 100 meter relay (41.2 s, together with Richard Corts , Hubert Houben and Helmut Körnig ) won.
His third place in the individual race was determined after a close result by a referee decision with 4: 3 in favor of the second, the British Jack London . Lammers had also sought a start at the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles . In the run-up to the season he ran a European record in 40.8 seconds with the German relay, but ultimately failed to qualify.
After his sports career, Georg Lammers became a police officer and was most recently in the rank of police chief inspector. He did his job in Osterode am Harz . He was married there and had a daughter named Senta, who was also a very good short distance runner at the county and state level. The community of Wardenburg , near Oldenburg , named a street after him while he was still alive. The municipality of Butjadingen also named a path after him, which runs as a footpath in Burhave behind the hotel "Butjadinger Hof".
Lammers started for SG Orpo Oldenburg and SC Nordenham . In his playing days he was 1.78 m tall and weighed 84 kg. His best time over the 100 meters was 10.4 s.
