Ulla Klinger
† September 4th, 2006
Ulla Klinger fought long and hard for staying longer with us. Till the end we hoped and prayed that she will win her battle against her illness and its consequences. Now we lost her much to early, at a point in time, as thirteen years of hard work began to pay out with the new beginning at our Bundesstützpunkt after the Olympic Games 1992 in Barcelona. How willingly we would have let her journey in 2008 - after 1976, 1984, 1988 and 1992 - for the fifth time with divers from SV Neptun Aachen to the Olympic Games! Not only in Aachen Ulla Klinger leaves deep traces of love and humanity at all divers. All of us have to thank her endlessly for all she has done. She lived for the diving and was the ideal for two generations. Sie was our good spirit of the Westhalle. We will miss her for ever. We want to honor Ulla Klinger by leaving her a spot in our hearts and follow her example.
