Wolfgang Groß

Wolfgang Groß (born 30 March 1954) is a German coxswain. He won a gold medal at the 1974 World Rowing Championships in Lucerne with the men's coxed four, with the rowers Andreas Schulz, Rüdiger Kunze, and twin brothers Ullrich and Walter Dießner.[1] A year later, he came second with the same team at the 1975 World Rowing Championships.[1][2] The coxed four rowers stayed together for the 1976 Summer Olympics, but Groß was replaced as coxswain by Johannes Thomas. That team won Olympic silver at the coxed four event.[3]
