About Ursula Unger
- Ursula Unger (née Wagner, later Maek, born 25 October 1953) is a rower who competed for East Germany during the 1970s. Under her maiden name, she became East German national champion with the coxed quad scull in 1973.
- She also competed in the double scull at the nationals alongside her SG Dynamo Potsdam team mate Roswietha Reichel and they came second.
- The championship title qualified the quad scull team for the 1973 European Rowing Championships where they won gold.
- For women, the European Championships were the top rowing event to win until 1973 as women's rowing was not introduced to world championships in 1974 or Olympic Games in 1976.
- For their sporting success, the gold medallists were all given an award in January 1974; Wagner was given a Master of Sport award.
- At the 1974 national championships, Wagner's quad scull abandoned the race (the sources do not give the background) but they were nominated for the 1974 World Rowing Championships regardless.
- They were successful and were one of four East German teams to take out inaugural world championship titles for female rowers.
- In November 1974, the world champions were awarded a Patriotic Order of Merit in bronze (third class); Unger was listed under her married name.For the 1975 rowing season, Sybille Tietze was replaced by Anke Grünberg but the other members of the coxed quad scull team remained.
- The team won the national championships and then defended their world championship title at the 1975 World Rowing Championships in Nottingham, Great Britain.
