Burger and Hübler were the first world champions and the first Olympic champions in pairs figure skating. They never became European champions, because the European championships did not include a pairs competition until 1930.
They skated for the club Müchener EV (Munich EV).
Heinrich Burger was also a lawyer in Munich.
