"Cycling is a wonderful counterbalance to his medical career," he says. His workload at the anesthesiology practice where he works currently amounts to about 50 hours Read more [...]

German Association for Triathlon, Duathlon

The Triathlon Association of German Doctors and Pharmacists (TVDÄ) was founded in 1985 in Großkrotzenburg.

Medical Open Golf Tournament

Medical Open Golf Tournament

The first traces of doctors' golf can probably be seen in the originally casual arrangements of physician friends who met to play golf around June 17th (then still a public holiday). Golf wasn't quite "in" yet when the tournament was launched in 1955. Prof. Dr. Alfred Koch from Münster and Freudenstadt's spa director Dr. Weidenbach officially invited the first German Doctors' Golf Tournament to Freudenstadt on the reopened 9-hole course. A few years later, in 1961, Dr. Hans-Georg Dehnhardt Read more [...]
