Julia Rohde (* 13. May 1989 as Julia Rohde in Görlitz ) is a German weightlifter .

Julia Rohde competes for the NSAC Görlitz . She began her athletic career at the age of eleven as a competition dancer and shortly after switched to weightlifting. The sports soldier has been training at the federal weightlifting base in Leimen (Baden) since 2006 . At 108 kg, Rohde is the first German female weightlifter to have pushed more than twice her body weight.

Surprisingly, Rohde was able to win the bronze medal in the duel and silver in the push at the European Championships in Lignano 2008 . The 188 kilograms (pushing 105 kg, tearing 83 kg) also meant a new German record (previously 81 kg and 100 kg). It was the first medal for Germany since Monique Riesterer won a medal eight years earlier. Thus Rohde qualified for the Olympic Games in Beijing and was in her first Olympic competition on August 10, 2008 after the disqualification of the doped Belarusian Nastassja Novikawa sixth in the weight class up to 53 kg.

At the European Championships 2009 in Bucharest Rohde was because of a broken rib not attend until after eight months she could start training again. At the World Championships in Antalya in September 2010 , Rohde achieved tenth place with a total of three German records. At the U23 European Championships in Limassol in 2010 , she won three gold medals. In her weight class (up to 53 kg) she lifted 14 kg more than the competition in a duel of 188 kg. Rohde also won the competitions in the two individual scores for tearing (83 kg) and pushing (105 kg).

The Armenian Elen Grigorjan was subsequently disqualified by the European Weightlifting Federation (EWF) at the European Championships in 2011 in Kazan, Russia, because of a positive doping test. Thus Julia Rohde moved up one place and became Vice European Champion 2011 in the Olympic duel (187 kg) and in the snatch (83 kg) of the 53 kg class. At the 2011 German Weightlifting Championships in Forst , Rohde was able to secure the title in the class up to 58 kilograms of body weight and thereby improve the German record in snatching by 1 kg to 86 kg. She scored 192 kilograms in a duel (tearing 86 / pushing 106) and won with a 40 kg advantage over runner-up Johanna Walzak .

At the 2011 World Championships , Rohde started in the 53 kg class, coming close to her personal best, which was enough for 14th place in the duel (85 kg + 106 kg = 191 kg). The performance in the tear also represents a setting of the German record. At the Olympic Games in London in 2012 , she finished 11th with the new German records of 108 kg in the push and 192 kg in the duel.

Since October 2011 Rohde has been volunteering as the new German Animal Welfare Ambassador for the German Animal Welfare Association for the protection of pets.

In February 2014 she married her long-term partner, the German weightlifter Tom Schwarzbach, and took his name.

At the 2015 European Weightlifting Championships , she won silver.
