1952 Summer Olympics / Participant (Germany)

GER

-	7th	17th

The Federal Republic of Germany took part in the 1952 Summer Olympics in the Finnish capital Helsinki with 205 athletes, 32 women and 173 men.

delegation

After no German Olympic team was allowed to take part in the first Olympic Games after the Second World War , in London in 1948 , German athletes were back in Helsinki in 1952. The youngest participant was the rower Helmut Noll at the age of 18, the oldest participant at 58 years the sailor Hans Lubinus .

In the run-up to the Games, the IOC recognized the National Olympic Committee of Germany, which represented the athletes in the Federal Republic of Germany . The National Olympic Committee of the German Democratic Republic was not recognized by the IOC. The proposal of a joint team made up of FRG and GDR athletes, supported by the IOC, was rejected by officials and politicians in the GDR . Thus only athletes from the West German Federal Republic represented the whole of Germany, but without the Saarland , which was at the start with an independent Olympic team. Further details can be found in Germany's Olympic history .

Flag bearer

The decathlete Friedel Schirmer carried the flag of Germany during the opening ceremony in the Olympic Stadium .
