Reiner Klimke was the son of a psychologist and a neurologist. With his wife, Ruth (also a top show jumping and dressage rider), he had 3 children: daughter [[Ingrid Klimke]], who competes successfully at the international level in [[eventing]] and [[dressage]], as well as two sons, Rolf and Michael (the latter who also competes at the Grand Prix level in dressage). Klimke not only rode and trained, but also ran a law firm and served on several boards, including the [[FEI]] Dressage Committee. Klimke died at age 63 in [[Münster]], his place of birth, due to a [[heart attack]].
