TSV Victoria Linden in the
Rugby-Bundesliga and the
German national rugby union team.
Kemmling was, until 27 October 2012, Germany's record rugby international, having played 50 internationals for his country between 1976 and 1994. With the opening game of Germany's 2012–14 campaign,
played his 51st game for his country, thereby surpassing Kemmling's record.
Kemmling has also captained Germany for a lengthy period of time during that era. During his time at Viktoria Linden, he won five German championships with the club.
He was the captain of the German team that won promotion to the A-group of European rugby in 1981, something Germany did not achieve again until 2008.
He is now the chairman of his old club, TSV Victoria Linden.
