Analyst note

The club that produced Monique Riesterer, the first German woman to lift at the Olympics (6th, Sydney 2000), plus two lifters at the 2013 World Championships. A feeder for the national squad, training out of a dedicated hall on Paul-Heyse-Straße.

An iron temple. The bar respects you and so do we.
