Oscar Kreuzer (born June 14, 1887 in Frankfurt am Main , † May 3, 1968 in Wiesbaden ) was a German tennis player .
At the Olympic Games in Stockholm in 1912 , he won the bronze medal in lawn tennis. In 1920 he won the international German tennis championships at Hamburg's Rothenbaum. His home club was the LTTC Rot-Weiß Berlin. He also played for the TC Palmengarten in Frankfurt.
In 1914 he played with the German team as only one of three teams alongside the mixed team from Australia and New Zealand and the USA in the Davis Cup . The game against the Australians and New Zealanders (with Anthony Wilding ) was memorable because a few hours after the end of the game that Germany lost, the First World War broke out. On the way back to Genoa with an Italian ship , this was stopped by a British patrol. Kreuzer and Otto Froitzheim were arrested as prisoners of war and spent the First World War in a prison camp in England .
