Tietje Spannenburg-Pagels (born 2 June 1906) was a Dutch kortebaan speed skater.[1][2] Spannenburg-Pagels was born in Hallum. She later lived in Wommels.
Between 1917 and 1933 she won a total of 56 prizes. Next to money prizes and two medals she also won a spoon, watch and a painting.
The first prize she won was when she was eleven years old, and she finished second in a boys-and-girls competition in IJlst on 12 Februari 1917. Her partner in this competition was E. de Groot, also from Wommels. She won her last prize in Marrum on 30 January 1933, the last race of the winter of 1932-33 because the ice thawed. Most of the races she rode together with Jouke de Groot from Jorwerd.[3] When he was ill, she competed several competitions in December with O. Bijlsma from Eernewoude.
D. Volbeda wrote a poem in Frisian about Pagels and Jouke de Groot.
Her brother Romke was also a kortebaan speed skater. He won a 14–15 years competition in Heerenveen in 1926. He skated 100 metres in 11.6 seconds and won a golden watch.
