Reinhold Böhm (cyclist)
Reinhold Böhm (born January 17, 1940 ; † April 30, 2017 in Unna ) was a German racing cyclist and one of the most prominent personalities in German cycling and the district town of Unna.
While he was still an active racing driver, Böhm founded RSV Unna (Rad-Sport-Verein Unna) in 1968 and put his energy into promoting cycling. For 49 years he was managing director of the association and dedicated himself to promoting young people. He organized numerous races and was a race commentator all over Germany.
In the first year of the club, the state championship NRW was organized by Reinhold Böhm, which was followed two years later by the international Easter race through the Unna district, which was the showpiece of the RSV and the city of Unna for 25 years.
Five German championships and countless other races were made possible and organized by Reinhold Böhm. For 2018 Böhm was planning another German championship in the Unna district. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the club, he wanted to organize the German U23 championship and then, after half a century, resign as managing director of the club.
He left behind his wife Mia and his two daughters.
