- Eberhard Riedel was a prominent East German ski racer during the 1960s.
- He caused a surprise victory by winning the giant slalom in Adelboden in 1961.
- Riedel competed in the 1960, 1964, and 1968 Winter Olympics, finishing 13th in slalom in 1968.
- He taught former East German leader Walter Ulbricht how to ski on the Fichtelberg mountain.
