Biography

 
Schockemöhle with Zukunft, puissance competition, Wilhelmshaven (West Germany), ca. 1965

Schockemöhle was involved in horses from an early age, and sold his grey mare Anaconda to the American equestrian Mary Mairs for DM100,000.[2] His success in horse-dealing allowed him to fund the debt-ridden family estate when he took it over, aged 20.[3]

Schockemöhle won his first Olympic gold medal in 1960 on the German show jumping team, followed in 1968 by a bronze medal. At the 1976 Summer Olympics, he won both gold in the individual and a silver medal with the German team which he was part of with his brother.[4] He has won both the European and German championships several times.

By his first wife Gaby, who later married Hendrik Snoek, he had a daughter, Alexandra,[5] and two sons, Christoph who lives in Singapore, and Frank who is a manager in the German Bundesliga, and two daughters, Vanessa and Christina by his second wife Rita Schockemöhle. Rita also had three children by her previous husband Gerhard Wiltfang – Alwin has been quoted as saying "She has four children, I have five, altogether there are seven".[6]

Schockemöhle was inducted into Germany's Sports Hall of Fame in July 2016.[7]
