Biography

Dieter Voigt played for SC Dynamo Berlin from 1956-69, helping them win national titles from 1966-68. In 1966 he won a bronze medal at the Europeans, which the team received only in 1999. In total he earned 107 international caps, and was inducted into the German Hockey Hall of Fame in 1999.

In 1968 the only Olympic match between the two Germanys took place at Grenoble. The match was won by West Germany 4-2 in the final round in 17th February, resulting in a seventh place finish for West Germany and eighth for East Germany. As a result, in 1970 the East German government decided not to give further state support to ice hockey.
