Flag-waver Andreas Körber passed away

Friedrichroda (RWH) His flags were well-know all over the world. At each luge event he attended he waved the flag of the current starter. No matter if Oberhof, Altenberg or Winterberg: The audience was happy about his performance and all the athletes loved him. But in the upcoming season all those people are forced to relinquish the support of Andreas Körber. In July his heart stopped beating. The luge community mourns the death one of its greatest supporters.
