Herr's best individual finish was 2nd in the large hill in
At the 2006 Winter Olympics, Herr finished 21st on 12 February in the normal hill, but he quit the German team after not being chosen for the large hill event to be held in the evening of 18 February. In 2006/07, Herr planned to compete for the Swedish ski jumping team, but he did not receive the naturalization he had planned for in Scandinavia.[1] So he wrote a letter to the trainer of the Polish ski jumping team expressing his desire to compete for them (it had been possible to gain Polish citizenship because having a Polish mother), but at last, he didn't compete for Poland, and in 2007 he did announce to retire for ever. But on 3 June 2009 it was told that he wished to start again for the German team from 2009-10, his goal was to compete in the Winter Olympics at Vancouver. But he wasn't able to qualify for the Ski jumping Continental Cup.
