A commitment to Togo. More than 100 years ago, the German naval doctor, Dr Erich Paulun, founded the German Tongji Medical School in Shanghai. Today it is one of the largest university hospitals in the world: this year the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan (6,000 beds, 9.5 million treatments a year) treated the largest number of Corona patients in accordance with European standards. Tongji – a challenge for our project in Togo!

Breaking news: sponsor & namesake wanted for sports arena in Togo! 32,000 - 38,000 € Hotline: 0170 90 41 26 7


Born on 24 August 1988, Maximilian and his younger siblings Claudia, Georg and Robert were raised by their parents Isabella and Helmut Reinelt and had a happy childhood in Ulm on the Danube in Germany.


A boy with many and varied interests, he found great pleasure in participating in music and in a number of different sports.


He greatly enjoyed playing guitar, piano and organ, and especially singing with the St Georg Boys' Choir.


In what Maximilian jokingly called the sedentary sport of rowing, he eventually became so successful that, following his graduation from high school, he moved from the Ulm Rowing Club to the Federal Training Centre in Dortmund.


Thanks to the great enthusiasm and the capacity for enduring hardship that had always been his strengths, he managed the feat of combining his medical studies with high-performance competitive rowing.


After a series of fantastic success stories, his crowning achievement was winning the Olympic gold medal in London in 2012 together with his long-time rowing doubles partner Lukas Müller and his other team mates in the German Eight.

After completing his studies and retiring as a competitive athlete after his silver medal win at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Maximilian moved back to Ulm with his fiancée Viola. There he worked as an anaesthetist, provided medical care to young athletes, and devoted much of his time to all that was dear and important to him.

Preparations for the wedding were well under way when his sudden death while cross-country skiing in St Moritz on 9/2/2019 ended many dreams for the future.

I know that he was looking forward to overseeing this great project, to which he wanted to contribute all his interests, experience and skills.

It is good to see that so much of what was important to Maximilian, so much of what he himself embodied in such an exemplary manner, will come to life here as a lasting and revered memory.

Another step for the Maximilian Reinelt Center. The Germany eight also supports our project.
