List of medals won by West Germany in Olympic games. The tally includes records, gold, silver and bronze medalists in various olympic games and athletics events.
West Germany at Olympics
West Germany participated at the Olympic Games between 1952 and 1988. In 1952, after World War II and the Partitions of Germany, West German team, participated in the Olympics but since East Germany refused to collaborate, the medals won by West Germany are counted towards Germany. During 1956-1964, both countries participated together under the Unified Team of Germany. So in real sense of the term, it was in 1968 only that a full-fledged West German team appeared, and it competed in all the Olympics except the 1980 Summer Olympics until 1988. So West Germany participated in 1968, 1972, 1976, 1984 and 1988 Olympics.
