Biography
Rower Albert Arnheiter won a gold medal at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics with the German coxed outriggers fours. When coming to the games, Arnheiter was already a pupil, shortly ready to defend his “Abitur” certificate. With Ludwigshafener Ruderverein he placed second at the 1909 German Championships with the eights, third with the coxless fours in 1910, and second again in 1912. Arnheiter was killed in action in 1945 in the last days of World War II in Italy.
