Heinrich Ratjen

Heinrich Ratjen, born Dora Ratjen and living from 20 November 1918 to 22 April 2008, was a German athlete who competed for Germany in the women's high jump at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin and finished fourth. He was later determined to be male and, by some accounts, intersex, which is why his entry in the women's event is remembered. Some news reports erroneously named him Hermann Ratjen or Horst Ratjen, so sources can disagree on the name even though they describe the same person. The atlas records him as a high jumper whose Olympic result and later identification are both documented in the source lead.
