Main article: Swimming at the 1912 Summer Olympics

17 swimmers, including four women, competed for Germany at the 1912 Games. It was the fourth time the nation had competed in swimming, having missed only the 1896 swimming events.

The German men took six medals, four in breaststroke events and two in backstroke. The breaststroke trio swept the 200 meter breaststroke medals, and Bathe added a second gold medal in the 400 meter event. The four women took silver in the inaugural women's relay event. None of the women won an individual medal, with Rosenberg finishing 0.2 seconds behind the bronze medalist in the final to take fourth place.

Ranks given for each swimmer are within the heat.

## Athletics

[edit]

Main article: Athletics at the 1912 Summer Olympics

24 athletes represented Germany. It was the fifth appearance of the nation in athletics, which Germany had appeared each time the Olympics had been held. The nation finished with two medals, both silver. Hanns Braun finished with the silver in the 400 metres and Hans Liesche won the silver medal in the high jump; these silvers were Germany's best results in the 1912 athletics competition and tied Germany's best results in athletics in Olympic history to that point.

The 4x100 metre relay team tied for the best time in the preliminary heats, matching the Olympic record set earlier in that round by the Swedish team. It then had the fastest time in the semifinals, taking sole possession of the Olympic record. This new record stood even after the finals as none of the finalist teams ran a better time; Germany committed a fault passing the baton and was disqualified in the final.

Ranks given are within that athlete's heat for running events.

## Cycling

[edit]

Main article: Cycling at the 1912 Summer Olympics

Eleven cyclists represented Germany. It was the fourth appearance of the nation in cycling, which had only not competed in cycling in 1904. Franz Lemnitz had the best time in the time trial, the only race held, placing 26th. The top four German cyclists had a combined time that placed them 6th of the 15 teams.

## Diving

[edit]

Main article: Diving at the 1912 Summer Olympics

Four divers, all men, represented Germany. It was Germany's third appearance in diving, with two of the top divers who had represented the nation in 1908 returning. The German men dominated the 3 metre springboard event with its second straight medal sweep in the event, taking the top four places in 1912. The team was less successful in the other two events, with only one of the four men advancing to the final in each. Zürner, the defending champion who finished fourth in the springboard, got a silver medal in the 10 metre platform event; this gave each of the four Germans a medal.

## Gymnastics

[edit]

Main article: Gymnastics at the 1912 Summer Olympics

Leipzig University had organised a trip to the Olympics for some of its sports students so that they could undertake academic studies of the various sports disciplines.[2] The organising body for German gymnasts, Deutsche Turnerschaft [de], failed to organise the participation of an Olympic team. Leipzig University then applied for and was granted permission to provide a team of its students, led by the academic gymnastics teacher Hermann Kuhr [de].[a][3]

Eighteen gymnasts represented Germany. It was the fifth appearance of the nation in gymnastics, in which Germany had competed at every Olympic Games. The nation sent no individual gymnasts, but did have a team compete in two of the three team events. In neither event did the team win a medal.

Seven tennis players, including one woman, represented Germany at the 1912 Games. It was the nation's fourth appearance in tennis, having missed only 1900. The lone German woman, Köring, was the most successful German player, taking the silver medal in her outdoor singles competition and winning the gold along with Schomburgk in the outdoor mixed doubles. Kreuzer was the only one of the six men to advance to the semifinals in the men's singles; he finished with the bronze medal.
