Gert Tiedtke (born November 17, 1922 in Duisburg ) is a German carom player and multiple German master in art push .

Life

Gert Tiedtke was born in Duisburg as the son of a German and a Dutch woman. His older brother is the multiple world champion August Tiedtke (1913–1972). Gert attended school up to the first grade in his hometown before the family moved to Arnhem (Netherlands) in his first school year.

At that time, at the age of 17, Gert played for Vitesse Arnheim in the Dutch league. Even as a small boy he liked to pick up the cue to emulate his nine-year-old brother August. So it came about that the two brothers also became joint training partners. August had learned from the Dutch master Jan Dommering and shared his knowledge with Gert.

Called up for World War II , Gert was a soldier from 1941 to 1945 and returned after being wounded several times. a. with a jaw penetration, returned to Düsseldorf and moved to Bendorf near Koblenz in 1951. In Düsseldorf-Oberkassel, Gert initially took care of setting up his pumice building materials business, and his father also had a building materials business before he moved to Bendorf.

Career

In 1947 he took part in the German three-cushion championship for the first time and immediately came third. Between 1947 and 1982 he took part in many German three-cushion championships. While the older Tiedtke won this title 17 times, the younger one won 7 titles, the first in 1978 in Gelsenkirchen . With the Düsseldorfer Billiardfreunde and the Cologne Billiard Club, he was German cup champion several times and was able to achieve sixth place at the European individual championships in Madrid in 1968. After the death of his brother in 1972, Gert made art pushing popular in Germany . At home he trained the then 76 figures (today 100) and in 1975, mediated by a friend, he was able to take part in the Belgian art pushing championships.

Qualified in Belgium, he finished fifth at the European Championships in Dortmund.

Tiedtke played his personal best of 321 points at a cup tournament. In 1984, Tiedtke secured the title at the German art pushing championships for the fourth time in a row. He had previously won in 1976 and 1977. Once again, in 1986, he should win this title. In the same year it was also that Tiedtke, at the EM, caused the longest recorded impact attempt. Gert started to push and ran into the cloth, the repair took 15 minutes. He starts the second attempt, then unexpectedly the light went out and he drove into the cloth again - another 15 minutes of repair. The ivory ball broke on the third attempt!

Tiedtke secured the three-cushion title in 1978 in Schwelm , ahead of Norbert Schmidt from Altenessen and Werner Hutmacher from Cologne .
