Life

Hermann Schlöske began athletics at the age of twelve when his older brother Helmut took him to training at SC Charlottenburg (SCC). His strength lay in the sprint and he won his first student competition in boots. After starting for Brandenburg as a teenager, he returned to SCC after an interlude at the Berliner Sport-Club. He mainly ran the 200 meters and in the 4 by 100 meter relay , but also started in the 4 by 400 meter relay . In 1929 Schlöske was a member of the world record relay over the 4 x 100 meters; He was the final runner of the team of the SCC with Helmut Körnig , Wilhelm Grosser and Alex Natan , which ran 40.8 s over the 4 x 100 meters in Breslau on July 22, 1929 , this time was not used by any club relay worldwide until the 1990s undercut. These four runners became German champions and Schlöske won his second title a few minutes later with the 4 x 400 meter relay in the line-up of Schlöske, Solmsen, Wiese and Böcher. The German championship title was repeated in the 4 x 100 meter relay in 1930 with the same line-up, but this time with Schlöske as the starter and Körnig as the final runner. Schlöske won his only German championship title in an individual race in 1924 over the 200 meters, and in 1927 he was third again. His personal best over this distance comes from 1928 with 21.6 s, over the 100 meters his best time is 10.6 s.

Schlöske took part in the Olympic Games in Amsterdam in the 200-meter run and was eliminated there after finishing third in the quarter-finals.

After the end of his sprinter career, he began playing tennis as an active player in 1933 . He was temporarily in the concentration camp for insulting an SS man. After the Second World War he was first district councilor for sport ( Charlottenburg ) before he was athletics trainer - among others at SC Brandenburg Berlin. Schlöske was 1.78 m tall and weighed 64 kg when he was active. In 1968 he adopted the future European champion Horst-Rüdiger Schlöske , whose coach he was also.
