After studying medicine at Goethe University Frankfurt , which he began in 1978 and graduated with a license to practice medicine on April 6, 1984 , Martin Engelhardt initially worked as an assistant doctor at the surgical clinic of the Hanau City Hospital . In 1985 he completed his doctorate . In 1987 Engelhardt moved to the Orthopedic University Clinic in Friedrichsheim . In November 1991 he successfully passed his examination to become a specialist in orthopedics , and in August 1992 he received the additional qualification in sports medicine . In December 1996 he completed his advanced training in special orthopedic surgery.

In 1996 Engelhardt became senior physician under Ludwig Zichner in Friedrichsheim . In 1998 Engelhardt qualified as a private lecturer and became Zichner's deputy head physician. In 2001 he acquired the additional qualification in chiropractic therapy . In 2002, Engelhardt moved to the Bielefeld Mitte City Clinic , where he became the chief physician of the Orthopedic Clinic. In September 2005 he passed the examination to become a specialist in orthopedics and trauma surgery . In 2006 Engelhardt moved to the Schön Klinik München-Harlaching and took over the “Center for Knee, Hip and Shoulder Surgery, Muscle and Tendon Injuries” as chief physician.

Activities as an athlete and sports official

In terms of sport, Engelhardt was initially active in swimming as a Bundesliga swimmer at the EOSC Offenbach and became interested in the triathlon in the mid-1980s . In the spring of 1985 he founded the Triathlon Association of German Doctors and Pharmacists (TVdÄA) in Großkrotzenburg , which in the following years developed into the most important German triathlon association with up to 400 members. On August 11, 1985, the TVdÄA hosted the first German triathlon championship for doctors and pharmacists , which Engelhardt won. The first triathlon symposium followed a year later with 400 participants. In 1987, Martin Engelhardt replaced the Heigenbrück dentist Joachim Fischer as president of the sporting umbrella organization Deutsche Triathlon Union (DTU) , which had been founded two years earlier . A few weeks later, Engelhardt crossed the finish line as a participant in the Ironman Hawaii in 12:38:59 h in 748th place. In the time of the presidential Engelhardts fell as the recognition of the DTU as exclusive representative Triathlon Sports Association in Germany and the establishment of the International Triathlon Union (ITU) in 1989, the Executive Board Engelhardt belonged in the 1990s. After Engelhardt's disputes both with the ITU President and nationally, for example, with the organization of a world championship originally awarded to Immenstadt in 1999, then to Munich and then withdrawn from the world association, after several years of labor law disputes with the national coach and after the one promoted by Engelhardt exclusion of the then largest national association from the DTU, the West German Triathlon Association (WTV) , renounced Engelhardt 2001 to submit a bid again as DTU President.

In 2006 Engelhardt was in discussion for a position on the DOSB Presidium. 2008 attracted Engelhardt with the release of a memory protocol , in which he Stephan Vuckovic , silver medalist of Sydney 2000 , the Epo-doping suspected attention. A few weeks later he retracted the charge. For example, the fact that Engelhardt had been the medical supervisor of the German Olympic team and at the same time DTU honorary president four years earlier , without intervening against Vuckovic's 2004 Olympic nomination for Athens 2004 , caused a lack of understanding in the scene . A year later, Engelhardt returned to sports politics: two weeks before the election of a new presidium of the Hessian state association, he was confirmed by the resigning state president as his acting successor. This was followed by a legal dispute with the incumbent DTU President Claudia Wisser , whereupon the other German state presidents accused him in an open letter of causing damage to the sports association. In 2011 Engelhardt returned to the head of the German Triathlon Union as a sports official and was re-elected President after a ten-year break. During this time, for example, a strategic reorientation of the DTU fell, but also a renewed attempt to exclude the largest regional association, this time the Bavarian Triathlon Association, and ultimately ambiguous national qualification criteria for Rio 2016 , which led to the DOSB for five den DTU athletes only nominated two German athletes.
