Biography
Boxer Hans Zehetmayer won the light-heavyweight title at the 1934 European Championships. He was Austrian middleweight champion 1930-32 and light-heavyweight champion 1935-36, and therefore qualified for the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Zehetmayer competed as a middleweight, but lost his first-round bout to the eventual Argentinian bronze medallist Raúl Villareal.
Domestically, Zehetmayer represented Polizei SV Wien (Vienna). He was a policeman by profession and died in the final days of World War II at Brno, in May 1945. The circumstances of his death are unknown, but was possibly a violent one.
