Hannelore Anke (later Hofmann; born 8 December 1957) is a retired German swimmer who competed for East Germany in the 1970s.
Anke was born in 1957 in Bad Schlema. Her mother had a senior position in a textile manufacturing plant and her father was a decorative painter. The sixth of ultimately seven children, she was the first god-child of Wilhelm Pieck, who at the time of her birth was president of East Germany. [1]
Anke became junior-champion at the 1971 Junior European Swimming Championships. [2] She had her best achievements in the 100 m breaststroke and 4 × 100 m medley relay. In these two events she won gold medals at the 1976 Summer Olympics [3] and 1975 World Aquatics Championships, and set two world records.

Officials from the East German team have later admitted that they administered performance-enhancing drugs to Anke during her career. [3] [5] [6] [7]
