Klaus Aeffke

Water and Boat Sports

Klaus Aeffke, born on 9 May 1940, is a retired German rower whose career was built mainly in the eights, the biggest boat class in rowing, where eight rowers and a coxswain race together. His best Olympic result was the silver medal in the eights at the 1964 Summer Olympics. Before that he won a world title in 1962, and he then won three European titles, in 1963, 1964 and 1965, so his major results cluster in the first half of the 1960s.
