Joachim BÖHMER

East German rower Joachim Böhmer partnered with Uli Schmied at the 1972 München Summer Olympics in the double sculls. At the 1970 Worlds they captured a silver medal and added a gold medal at the 1971 Europeans. Then, in München, both claimed the bronze medal. At the 1966 Worlds Böhmer won a bronze medal with the coxed eights.

Böhmer and Schmied had already won the 1970 and 1971 nationals. Böhmer won nine East German nationals in total. In 1969, he claimed the title in the single sculls, and at the Europeans he won a silver medal the same year. Böhmer later studied state sciences and became a criminalist at the Deutsche Volkspolizei (German People's Police). He married non-Olympian rower Irmgard Brendenal.
