Personal life

Anke was born in 1957 in Bad Schlema. Her mother had a senior position in a textile manufacturing plant and her father was a decorative painter. The sixth of ultimately seven children, she was the first god-child of Wilhelm Pieck, who at the time of her birth was president of East Germany.[1]

Sports career

Anke became junior-champion at the 1971 Junior European Swimming Championships.[2] She had her best achievements in the 100 m breaststroke and 4 × 100 m medley relay. In these two events she won gold medals at the 1976 Summer Olympics[3] and 1975 World Aquatics Championships, and set two world records. In 1975, she also won a world title in the 100 m breaststroke. She was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1990.[4][5]

Doping

Officials from the East German team have later admitted that they administered performance enhancing drugs to Anke during her career.[3][5][6][7]
