Willi Oberbeck was a German professional road bicycle racer, born on 21 February 1910 in Hagen. The English Wikipedia article gives only the year 1979 for his death. His best known result came in 1938, when he won the first stage of the Tour de France and so led the general classification for one day. That single stage win and day in the lead are the career facts the article records, and it links to his Cycling Archives profile without giving any account of his teams or other results. He is therefore a small but documented entry among the German riders of the Tour de France in the late 1930s, and nothing more specific about his career is claimed here.
