Rowing

The rowing branch was founded in 1866 as Ruder-Club Germania. On April 6 in 1919 they were joining the Rudergesellschaft Wiking Leipzig. After 1945 until the fall of the berlin wall, the traditional club was persisting in Minden in west Germany due to the movemt of some rowers from Leipzig to Minden. After the German union, the RG Wiking Leipzig of Minden was joining the SC DHfK Leipzig and was named Rudergesellschaft Wiking im SC DHfK Leipzig e. V. until 2012.

The period after 1990 was marked by radical upheavals in the rowing department. Trimmed from a large coaching staff to three coaches, the national and international successes collapsed. In 1992 Kristina Mundt and Kerstin Müller won Olympic gold. The SC DHfK only took part in the Olympic competition again in 2008 with Annekatrin Thiele, who won a silver medal in a double scull. At the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Thiele won the silver medal in the women's four of four and crowned her winning streak with a gold medal in the same boat class at the Rio 2016 games. In addition to Tim Grohmann, Philipp Wende also participated in the Rio games. In the men's doubles, he also rowed the gold medal with his teammates. Tim Grohmann supported the team as a substitute.
