Visitors to the FIL Office in Berchtesgaden can now admire the newly-inaugurated Hall of Fame. Pictures of the five former athletes admitted so far to the Hall of Fame are hanging on the walls of the FIL Office´s renovated and rearranged reception area, and their biographies are displayed in a leather-covered album.

Next to the pictures of Klaus Bonsack, Paul Hildgartner and Margit Schumann, are, almost fresh from the press, pictures of Josef Feistmantl, whose innumerable successes include gold medals at the 1964 Olympic Winter Games in Innsbruck and1969 World Championships in Königssee, and of Hans Rinn, 1976 and 1980 Olympic Champion and three-time World Champion. On the occasion of the Viessmann World Cup held in Königssee in January, both former luge athletes were honored by President Fendt.

Each year, the gallery may be extended by a maximum of two former athletes. Visitors to the Hall of Fame are welcome any time during FIL Office business hours.
