These guest lions were already sitting in the armchair - New and returning Shark Tank Germany investors shake up Season 19 lineup
The latest season of Shark Tank Germany is bringing back familiar faces and introducing new ones. Season 19 will feature a mix of returning investors and fresh additions to the panel. The show continues to evolve with entrepreneurs and industry figures taking their place in the shark's chair.
Frank Thelen remains a permanent member of the panel for Season 19. His consistent presence has made him a staple of the show. Jochen Schweizer also made a return, joining Thelen for the 2024 anniversary special after both had previously left the programme.
Anne and Stefan Lemcke, founders of Ankerkraut, first appeared on the show in 2016 as entrepreneurs. They later returned as guest investors in 2021. This season, they will reappear in the third episode, set to air on March 9.
Newcomers have also joined the ranks. Lena Gercke, winner of Germany's Next Topmodel, took her seat in the fall of 2022. Around the same time, Diana zur Löwen, an entrepreneur and influencer, became part of the panel.
Christian Miele, great-grandson of Carl Miele and former president of the German Startups Association, will appear in episodes five and six. His business background adds another layer of expertise to the show. Meanwhile, Sarna Röser, another entrepreneur and investor, was part of the panel back in Season 11.
No further high-profile investors have been announced for the upcoming season beyond those already confirmed.
Season 19 of Shark Tank Germany blends experienced investors with fresh voices. The mix includes returning figures like Thelen and the Lemckes, alongside newer additions such as Gercke and zur Löwen. The show's format remains dynamic, with each episode featuring different combinations of business minds.
