Hans-Ulrich Schmied (born 23 February 1947) is a retired German rower who specialized in the double sculls. In this event he won bronze medals at the 1972 and 1976 Olympic Games and finished in fifth place in 1968. He also won one world (1974) and two European titles (1971 and 1973). Schmied went to the 1978 World Rowing Championships on Lake Karapiro in New Zealand as a reserve but did not compete.{{cite news |title=DDR-Ruderaufgebot für die Weltmeisterschaft |trans-title=GDR rowing team for the World Championship |url=http://zefys.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/ddr-presse/ergebnisanzeige/?purl=SNP2532889X-19781011-0-5-76-0 |access-date=3 October 2018 |work=Neues Deutschland |volume=33 |issue=240 |date=11 October 1978 |page=5 |language=de |url-access=registration}} It was at those championships that he got closer to one of the female rowers whom she later married; Bärbel Bendiks was also present as a reserve.{{cite news |last1=Frank |first1=Jochen |title=Rudern macht suechtig |url=https://www.pressreader.com/germany/m%C3%A4rkische-oderzeitung-erkner/20170902/281831463875936 |access-date=3 October 2018 |work=Märkische Oderzeitung Erkner |trans-title=Rowing makes you addicted |date=2 September 2017 |language=de}}
