Gustav Schürger
Gustav Schürger (born January 4, 1908 , † June 10, 1969 ) was a German water polo player .
Gustav Schürger from Bayern 07 Nürnberg was already a member of the German national team at the 1927 European Championship, but it did not receive a medal. It was not until the European Championship in 1934 that Schürger was there again and took second place with the German team behind the Hungarians.
Schürger was also part of the German squad at the 1936 Olympic Games . The German team won all games except for the game against Hungary, which ended 2-2. Hungary received the gold medal because of the better goal difference, Germany won silver. Schürger was used in six games.
Schürger studied human medicine in Erlangen and practiced as a general practitioner in Nuremberg - Wöhrd. During the Second World War he was used as a field doctor and was so badly injured in a bomb hit on the hospital that he became permanently blind. With the help of a medical assistant, he continued his general practice even after the war until his younger son Walter took over in 1963.
