Bernd Niesecke (born 30 October 1958)[1] is a German rower, who competed for the SC Dynamo Potsdam / Sportvereinigung (SV) Dynamo. He won the medals at the international rowing competitions.[2][3][4][5][6] In October 1986, he was awarded a Patriotic Order of Merit in gold (first class) for his sporting success.[7]

Olympic Career

[edit]

Niesecke could not participate due to the Soviet-led boycott at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. However, he won the gold medal with the East German coxed fours at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Also with the coxed fours, Niesecke won three world titles in 1981, 1986, and 1987. Additionally, he won two silvers, with the eights in 1982, and coxed fours in 1983. He also won a coxed fours bronze in 1985.

Post-Olympic Career

[edit]

He was a policeman until German re-unification, and was then taken over by the Special Mission Command (SEK) Berlin.[8]
