biography
Wolfgang Troßbach grew up in Berlin. His father Heinrich Troßbach was also successful in the 110-meter hurdles discipline in the 1920s. At the age of 13 Troßbach's parents sent him to the Adolf Hitler School of the Ordensburg Sonthofen . One of his schoolmates was the actor Hardy Krüger . Troßbach was recruited as a soldier at the age of 17 and was taken prisoner at the end of the Second World War . Then he made up his Abitur in Kulmbach . When he found out from a newspaper report in 1947 that Carl Diem wanted to found the Sport University in Cologne , he moved to Cologne to begin studying sport there and took an exam as a soccer teacher with Sepp Herberger . During this time he trained the TuRa Bonn , a predecessor of today's Bonner SC . When he moved to Berlin, he gave up this position and from then on trained Tasmania Berlin .
After Troßbach had secured the championship title at the German Championships in 1950 and 1951 over 110 m hurdles , he was allowed to start at the Olympic Games in Helsinki in 1952 . In the competition over 110 m hurdles , he was eliminated in the preliminary run and took 17th place in the overall ranking. A year later he managed to defend his German championship title again. In 1955 he ended his career as a track and field athlete and worked from then on at Thyssen AG and later at the United Screw Works in Essen . At the age of 63 he retired and moved to Bensberg with his wife Erika, who had also been a sports student in Cologne . Troßbach has two daughters and a son.
