Werner Lampe (born 30 November 1952)[1] is a retired German swimmer and Olympic medalist. He is the brother of Hans Lampe and father of Oliver Lampe. He participated at the 1972 and 1976 Summer Olympics, winning a silver medal in 4 × 200 m freestyle relay, and a bronze medal in 200 m freestyle in 1972.[2]
Lampe shaved off his hair before the 200 m Olympic race in 1972 to reduce the water drag, and then wore a wig at the award ceremony.[3]
After retiring from competitions Lampe worked as a swimming coach.[1] In 2005, aged 52, he defended a PhD at the University of Hannover on the role of exercise in diabetics and overweight persons.[4]
