Career
Schulz achieved her world record of 6.12 metres on 30 July 1939 in Berlin.
The jump was the first recorded by a woman over 6 metres. It occurred at the ISTAF Berlin meeting. Due to the restrictions of the Second World War, the career of the then 18 year old was severely curtailed.Athletics: A History of Modern Track and Field Athletics (1860–2013) Men and Women, 2014 Edition, Roberto L.
