Biography
He won the 1979 University Games and finished fourteenth at the 1987 World Championships. At the European Indoor Championships he won the silver in 1983 and a bronze in 1990,[1] and finished fourth in 1982[2] and thirteenth in 1988.[3]
He represented the sports team LG Frankfurt and became West German champion in 1979.[4]
His personal best jump was 2.35 metres, achieved in August 1988 in Forbach. This result ranks him fifth among German high jumpers, behind Carlo Thränhardt, Gerd Wessig, Dietmar Mögenburg and Martin Buß.
