Biography

Edwin Hartmann took up skiing at the age of 10 and practiced both the alpine and Nordic disciplines. He won his first senior Austrian national championship in 1932 and attended the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships the following year, placing 19th in the Nordic combined and 27th in the 18 km cross-country ski. He remained active during the 1930s, winning numerous local and regional tournaments, and participated in the military ski patrol demonstration event at the 1936 Winter Olympics, where he placed fourth, alongside Albert Bach, Franz Hiermann, and Eugen Tschurtschenthaler. He continued to compete for several years thereafter, but his career was ended by World War II. His granddaughter Christa was the 1985 Junior World Champion in the slalom.
