Wilhelm Ludwig Trost (born October 6, 1924 in Cologne , † March 14, 1977 there ) was a German track cyclist .

Even before the Second World War , Willy Trost, who competed for the Cologne-based club Komet Delia 09 , was active as a racing driver. In 1947 and 1950 he was each German runner-up in the amateur sprint . In the 1947 track season, he won a total of 40 competitions declared as flying races (this also included omnias and time trials on short distances), plus 16 second places. With this record he was by far the most successful driver in the annual ranking of German amateurs ahead of his competitor Willy Schertle. He also succeeded in 1949 when he achieved 28 victories that season. In the meantime he started for the RC Staubwolke association. In 1948 and 1949 he won the championship title. In 1952 he finished second with Hans Westerhold in the German championship in tandem races, and in 1956 he finished third with Christian Kleinsorg .

After the end of his sports career, Trost opened the Hotel Trost in a former (now listed) building of the Kölnisch-Wasser-Fabrik 4711 in Cologne-Ehrenfeld . In March 1977 he was killed in the explosion of a residential and commercial building on Thebäer Strasse caused by arson.
