| Bio | It was probably the end of the 1920s when a talented boy from Hamburg came to Berlin and wanted to join the Rot-Weiss (Red-White) club. At the time, the club did not like taking on more than two or three young people who had the ambition to work their way up to the top of the German rankings in the old famous club. After Moldenhauer, Prenn and many others, Gottfried von Cramm and a new group joined the training team: besides Cramm, the young Denker, Kay Lund, and a little later our unforgettable Henner Henkel. Undoubtedly, Denker, in addition to his modesty and good upbringing, embodied the type of particularly ball-talented player of whom the club's sports attendant, dr. Hermann Rau held much, although he seemed quite tender and somewhat weak. Denker never became a player of the highest caliber in singles, but together with Gottfried von Cramm, he managed to form an excellent German doubles. He played seven times in the Davis Cup for Germany. He won the International German championship in the men's doubles together with Henner Henkel and mixed with Marie-Luise Horn/ Jencquel. Denker passed away at the age of only 51 years. He left a painful reminiscence of the beautiful great German tennis days. Many friends mourned him at his grave of this lovely person, friendly comrade and fine tennis player, who learned his great skills in Berlin. |
