Heinz Körvers, born on 3 July 1915, was a German field handball player who competed at the 1936 Summer Olympics. He was part of the German field handball team that won the gold medal at those Games, which makes him an Olympic champion, and he played as goalkeeper. Körvers did not live to see the end of the Second World War: he was killed in action and died on 29 December 1942, at the age of 27. Field handball was part of the Olympic programme only once, at the 1936 Berlin Games, and Olympedia credits him with five international caps.
