Josef Carl Peter Neckermann (5 June 1912 – 13 January 1992) was a German equestrian and Olympic champion. He won Olympic medals at four different Olympics, in 1960, 1964, 1968 and 1972. Later Neckermann became a member of the West German National Olympic Committee.[1]
He was also the founder and owner of the German mail order company Neckermann AG in 1938.[2]
For that, shortly after World War II, Neckermann was sentenced to one year in a military prison.[3]
In 1957, Joel got a compensation of 2 million West German marks for his former company from Neckermann who ran the most successful German mail order selling company at the time.
