In Memoriam: Franz Peter Frommlet (15.03.1960 - 01.09.2026)

The International Crossbow Shooting Union mourns the loss of Franz-Peter Frommlet (GER), who passed away unexpectedly on 1 September 2026 at the age of 66.

Franz-Peter was closely connected with crossbow shooting for more than three decades, first as an active competitor and later increasingly as a coach and official. He competed in Match Crossbow at both 10 m and 30 m at national and international level and remained an active crossbow shooter until the final years of his life.

For many years, he supported and accompanied the German national team at IAU competitions, sharing his experience and knowledge with athletes and colleagues. In September 2025, Franz-Peter became a member of the IAU Technical Committee Match. His last international event was the European Championships in Châteauroux in August 2026, where he once again accompanied the German team only a few weeks before his passing.

With Franz-Peter Frommlet, the IAU loses a dedicated member of the international crossbow community and a valued friend and colleague. We will remember him with gratitude and respect.

Our sincere condolences go to his family, friends and all those who shared his passion for crossbow sports.
