Life

Iske grew up in Leipzig, attended the local business school and later worked as a teacher. From 1950 he studied sports and music in Halle and Leipzig. Due to political disputes, he had to interrupt his studies in the meantime and work in production in 1952 and 1953. He completed his studies and taught at the medical schools in Halle and Schwerin in the subject of physical education. From 1958, Iske worked for 32 years as a research assistant at the German University of Physical Culture (DHfK) in Leipzig, where he taught, among other things, anatomy, general training theory and sports physiology, and he also held courses at the DHfK Institute for Leisure and Recreational Sports. During his time as an employee of the German University of Physical Culture, Iske studied psychology at the Karl Marx University in Leipzig from 1963 to 1967 . In 1965 his doctoral thesis (title: "A photoelectric method for bloodless measurement of changes in the frontal cerebral blood flow in humans") was accepted. In 1971 Iske was one of the collaborators in the study "Telemetric investigations into the relationships between the sequence of movements and muscle activity in the shot put". For political reasons, Iske was banned from further training measures, contact with students and business trips abroad from 1977 onwards, but he remained an employee of the DHfK. Iske was primarily responsible for the textbook "Mass Sports", which was published in 1988 by the DHfK.

Iske played in the HSG DHfK Leipzig badminton . He was also a board member of the German Badminton Association and in 1959 a founding member of the German Gymnastics and Sports Association (DTSB).

In 1989 he joined the New Forum in Leipzig and in February 1990 became a member of the SPD. He belonged to the last government of the German Democratic Republic under Prime Minister Lothar de Maizière as State Secretary in the Ministry for Youth and Sport. After the end of the GDR, Iske was responsible for the five new federal states at the Ministry of the Interior as head of the regional sports facility. In November 1990 he admitted that in the GDR top-class sport, the "supportive means" included permitted drugs as well as anabolic steroids and other doping substances. In this regard, he spoke of an “unacceptable and almost criminal interference with the freedom of the person”.
