Otto Erb (born May 19, 1959) is a Swiss wheelchair curler and para-athlete. He represented Switzerland with wheelchair curling at international competitions.[1][2] He was coached by Heinz Sommerhalder. For health reasons he is dependent on a wheelchair due to an accident at work in the late 1980s.
His main achievement with the Swiss national team is winning the silver medal at the WWhCC 2004. Two seasons later he won the silver medal at the Swiss Wheelchair Curling Championship.[3] Next to being a wheelchair curling athlete, he is also a wheelchair curling ambassador, creating a better environment for the next generation. He does that among other things by visiting wheelchair curling clubs.[4] After his main career he continued playing wheelchair curling as a hobby.
Erb is married and has two children. After his curling career he joined in 2008 the Wohler residents' council and represented the Anglikon part of the village. He was also a lecturer at the nursing school in Aarau. At the Cantonal Association for Disabled Sports he works as an auditor. Between 2010 and 2012 he was the president of the Finance Commission (Fiko). Due to health related issues he resigned from office. In 2013 he was fit again and became a candidate for city council of Wohlen, Aargau.[1][5]
