Germany was represented at the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina D'Ampezzo , Italy by a '' United Team Of Germany '' of athletes from the ( Federal Republic Of Germany (FRG), '' West Germany '') and, for the first time, also from the ( German Democratic Republic (GDR), '' East Germany '') which had not joined in 1952.

The results were rather disappointing as only 2 medals were scored against emerging competition. Rosa "Ossi" Reichert won Gold at the women's giant slalom, and Harry Glaß took Bronze in the K90 individual jump.
