Life

Tünnemann started wrestling at the age of 14, in the 1950s he was a member of the wrestling team of Traktor or Dynamo Schwerin and in the 1960s of the SC DHfK Leipzig .

Tünnemann worked as a scientist at the Research Institute for Physical Culture and Sport (FKS) in Leipzig  and headed the wrestling research group between 1970 and 1979. In 1970 he published together with Klaus Meinelt the work "On questions of strategy in the open air and classical wrestling". In his doctoral thesis, completed in 1970, Tünnemann dealt with the application of mathematical game theory in wrestling. As a functionary in wrestling, he was a member of various committees of the world association from 1974, namely the coaching, referee and science commissions. He devised the video evidence in wrestling, which was first used at the 1996 Summer Olympics. In his dissertation B, Tünnemann dealt with  the topic of training methodological recommendations for the martial arts boxing, fencing, judo and wrestling. According to the news magazine Der Spiegel, with reference to files kept secret in the GDR, Tünnemann took part in an FKS meeting in January 1975 at which the topic of anabolic steroids was discussed for the first time and accordingly also took part in a seminar in March 1978 on the Use of anabolic steroids by martial artists went down. According to the sports historian Giselher Spitzer , referring to files from the Stasi records authority, a document from the VCS on the use of doping substances called "Optimal UM use for the 1980 Olympic Games" bore Tünnemann's signature. Tünnemann denied involvement in the GDR doping and emphasized that he was "neither scientifically nor in any way practically involved in the anabolic doping system of the GDR". In June 2002, the German Sports Association set up an investigative commission to shed light on the allegations directed against Tünnemann.

Since the Ministry of State Security found documents from the VCS in Tünnemann's apartment, the removal of which was forbidden from the research institute, he was charged with high treason in 1979. Tünnemann was sentenced to one and a half years suspended sentence. After the conviction, Tünnemann was henceforth only permitted to undertake low-level research. In 1980, together with Jürgen Hartmann, he published the work “Everybody wrestling with instructions for everyone”, and in the same year he was co-author of “Ringen. A textbook for trainers, trainers and active people ”and in 1986 published the book“ Modern strength training ”again with Hartmann. In 1989 and 1990 Tünnemann was politically involved in the New Forum and was its sports policy spokesman. Before the end of the GDR, Tünnemann became the last director of the Research Institute for Physical Culture and Sport (FKS) in May 1990. In 1991 he published the book “100 Years of Wrestling Sports in Germany, International Selected Bibliography Wrestling 1891 - 1991; Training, Competition, Science ”. After the VCS was transferred to the newly founded, all-German Institute for Applied Training Science (IAT), Tünnemann became head of the Technical Tactics department at the IAT.

He was a member of the National Olympic Committee for Germany (NOK) (1990 to October 2002) and Vice President of the German Wrestling Association (DRB). Tünnemann was  accepted by the world wrestling association FILA in its hall of fame and awarded the Association's Order of Merit.
