Henrik Sillem

Henrik Sillem (August 12, 1866, Amsterdam – July 13, 1907) was a Dutch sports shooter.

Sillem was the son of a banker. He married Susanna Catharina Beatrix des Tombe on May 28 1891 in Arnhem. The couple divorced in 1897. Together with his friend Solko van den Bergh and the Frenchman François Monod, Sillem initiated the first "international shooting matches" (world championships in shooting) in 1897 in Lyon. These were the forerunners of the matches that were held in Paris in 1900, now considered to have been part of the Olympics. Sillem participated in these and won a bronze medal with the Dutch pistol team.
