Schmidt was born in 1914. In 1936 he won the bronze medal as crew member of the German boat in the men's eight competition.[1]
Immediately after the end of World War II, he was put in charge of sport for the administrative area of Köpenick. He is credited with reviving rowing as a sport in East Berlin.[2] In 1948, he became chief editor of Deutsches Sportecho, an East German daily sports newspaper. He was dismissed from this role after only a few months and went to the radio station Sender Freies Berlin in West Berlin instead where he was in charge of the sports department.[1]
Schmidt died in 2002.[1]
