Heide Schröter (* 1941 ) is a German white water canoeist.

Career

Heide Schröter grew up in the town of Rotenburg in Lower Saxony and moved to Grevenbroich with her family in 1950 . In 1965 she married.

Because Schröter was interested in canoeing alongside other sports such as athletics, swimming and tennis, she became a member of the Kanu-Club Grevenbroich 1953 e. V. , which at that time was considered one of the leading canoeing clubs in Germany. She chose white water canoeing as her discipline within canoeing. Due to her good performance - she was three times German champion (as of 1968) - she was appointed to the German national canoeing team. With this team she took part in the Canoe Wildwater World Championships in 1967 in Spindleruv Mlyn, where she won two gold medals. First she won the K 1 individual white water race and became world champion in this discipline. Then she and the German women's team with the line-up Bärbel Körner , Kirsten Stumpf and Heide Schröter also managed to fight for first place in white water canoeing and thus also to become world champions in this discipline. The team also won a bronze medal at the Canoe Slalom World Championships in Lipno .

For their success as world champions in the whitewater team competition in 1967, Schröter, Stumpf and Körner were awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf by Federal President Heinrich Lübke on May 10, 1968 .

Heide Schröter is an honorary member of her association Kanu-Club Grevenbroich 1953 e. V. In 2019 her canoe was shown as part of the special exhibition "Grevenbroich Sports History (s)" in the "Museum of the Lower Rhine Soul" .
