The German Rowing Federation, or Deutsche Ruderverband (DRV), is the governing body of rowing in Germany. The DRV oversees club, college, and Olympic rowing, and is a member of World Rowing (FISA). The DRV is a democratic organization with a "Rudertag" (voting body), that decides upon rules, regulations, and allocation of funds. The presiding chairman, as of 2024, is Moritz Petri.[1].
History
[edit]Hamburger Ruderclub became the first German rowing club in 1836 and over the next 47 years, the sport would spread throughout the German lands. The Deutsche Ruderverband was established on the 18th of March 1883 in Cologne. 34 clubs attended, and there was a total membership of 1116. In 1912 the DRV joined FISA, this move aligned the German amateur regulations with the rest of the world. In 1936 the DRV was temporarily dissolved and incorporated into the Reichsbund, it would be separated again in 1949. During the Cold War, the DRV exclusively operated in West Germany, with its sister organization the DSRV operating in East Germany. The DSRV was incorporated back into the DRV in 1990[2]. Between all three regimes of West, East, and United Germany, Germany has the most gold medals of any other state at 64 total, with the United States in second place with 33[3]
