Frank Schütze

Frank Schütze rowed with the West German coxed eights at the 1976 Montréal Olympics. The crew finished an unfortunate fourth, but did win the West German nationals. In 1977 and 1978, Schütze won two silver medals at the World Championships, both with the coxed fours, and in 1979 the crew added a bronze medal.

Domestically, he won 14 West German national titles. Between 1976-80 he won the coxless pairs with Wolfram Thiem, from 1977-80 he won the coxed fours, and from 1976-80 was champion with the coxed eights. By profession, Schütze became a physician working with the clinic for general, thorax (lung), vascular and pediatric surgery on Winterberg in Saarbrücken.
