Detlef Dahn (born 18 January 1943[1]) is a German boxer who also worked as a toolmaker.
Dahn was born in Berlin and boxed for East Germany. He began boxing as a featherweight for SC Rotation Berlin in 1958. He was coached by Günter Debert. He boxed for ASK Vorwärts Berlin from 1964.[1]
Dahn was national champion in 1965.[1] That same year, he also won a bronze medal at the 1965 European Amateur Boxing Championships in the up to 67kg category.[2] He was defeated on points by Italian Luigi Patruno in their semi-final match.[1]
As of April 1966, he was being trained by Wolter Kemberger and had undertaken 90 fights, 10 of which were international, and 72 of which were victories.[1]
His quest to medal again at the 1967 European Amateur Boxing Championships was ended by his defeat by his fellow East German Manfred Wolke, the eventual silver medal finisher.[3]
He also competed in the men's light middleweight event at the 1968 Summer Olympics.[4]
Dahn's son Robert is a singer in the band Equilibrium.[5]
