Life

Ismayr grew up in Landshut and Deggendorf, was active in swimming , athletics and gymnastics as a teenager , only joined TV Deggendorf at the age of 16 in 1924, where he started boxing and weightlifting . The then Reich trainer Josef Zimmermann soon recognized his extraordinary talent for weightlifting and took him under his wing. After graduating from high school, Ismayr went to Munich to study in 1928, first joining TSV 1860 and then SC Roland Munich, the Zimmermanns association. From 1930 he increased his performance by leaps and bounds through intensive training and reached the German and international top class, in which he remained until the beginning of the Second World War. Success came after success. At the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1932 he made friends with American weightlifters, especially the later Olympic champion Anthony Terlazzo, and from then on supported them with valuable training tips. In Germany in 1934 he brought the highly talented Bamberg-born Josef Manger to Freising, where he had now settled down and built up a weightlifting department at SpVgg Freising . He made Manger a world-class weightlifter, Olympic champion, and world and European champion within a few months.

In 1936 he pronounced the Olympic oath at the Olympic Games in Berlin .

Professionally, he was employed as a fully qualified lawyer in the Bavarian civil service. From 1940 to 1945 he did military service and was a British prisoner of war until autumn 1946 . Afterwards back in civil service, he became involved as a peace fighter and anti-nuclear weapon and made himself unpopular with politicians in Bonn and Munich. He stood as a candidate in the federal election in 1957 for the Federation of the German and the federal elections in 1961 and 1965 for the German Peace Union . He later became a member of the DKP .
