Life and career

Born in Colmar on 24 July 1936, Schertzinger was the son of Albert and Henriette Schertzinger and attended Catholic school in Saint-Hippolyte. In 1951, he joined a sports and leisure club in Neuf-Brisach,[2] where he took part in atheletics, handball, and gymnastics.[3] He studied accounting and managed a firm in Colmar with 40 employees.[4] He then joined Avant-garde du Rhin, of which he served as treasurer and then president from 1984 to 1996.[5]

In 1990, Schertzinger was elected to the steering committee of the Fédération sportive et culturelle de France before assuming the presidency on 22 November 1992.[6] Under his leadership, the professionalization of the organization's structures was improved.[7] He also sponsored new events, such as early childhood development activities and hiking.[8] He also created performing and visual arts commissions.[9] On 24 November 2002, he stepped down from the role.[5] From 1999 to 2003, he was Secretary General of the Fédération internationale catholique d'éducation physique et sportive,[10] and then served as president from 2003 to 2009.[11]

In 2009, Schertzinger was appointed by Prime Minister François Fillon to serve on the Haut Conseil à la vie associative and was also the Vatican's delegate for Sport on the Council of Europe.[12][13] He was also a board member of the Abbaye de Marbach association.[14][15]

Schertzinger died in Colmar on 17 July 2026, at the age of 89.[16]
