One of the most famous athletes of his time was Erich "Ete" Rademacher, who was the most successful German swimmer in the 1920s. He set around 30 world records and won 998 competitions during his career. In Magdeburg a street and the outdoor swimming pool are named after him. Prof. Otto Poertzel (1876-1963) was an internationally highly regarded sculptor. His Chryselephantin figures now fetch up to five-figure sums at auction.
