Peaked occurrence detected at DEG's double summit
In a significant move for DEG Eishockey GmbH, Harald Wirtz has been appointed as the new Managing Director and CEO, effective from August 2025. Wirtz, a native of Düsseldorf and former premium partner with Wirtz Medical, takes over from Stefan Adam, who has made a significant contribution to the club's positive development over the past four years.
The new leadership will see Wirtz joined by Niki Mondt, who has been appointed as the sports director of DEG Eishockey GmbH. Mondt, who has done good work at DEG in recent years, will be solely responsible for the sporting area of the club in the future.
Harald Wirtz will primarily be responsible for the commercial side of the DEG, with a focus on the external presentation, operational business, and leading the club into the future. He is aware of the challenge of leading the club, stating that he looks forward to further developing existing structures, expanding networks, and giving new impulses, particularly in sponsoring and hospitality.
Niki Mondt, on the other hand, will take over as sports director and aims to further develop the already set course for DEG Eishockey GmbH. He expresses his gratitude for the trust placed in him by the shareholders, who have entrusted him with the sole responsibility for the sporting area of the club in the future.
The shareholders are convinced that Mondt is the right complement for the new dual leadership, with Daniel Voelkel, also a shareholder of DEG Eishockey GmbH, expressing his confidence in Mondt's ability to take on more responsibility in the new setup. Peter Hoberg, co-owner of DEG Eishockey GmbH, emphasizes the importance of further developing the initiated processes and structures for the club to play at the highest level off the ice.
The DEG Eishockey GmbH aims to further develop the already set course with this step. The club has made enormous investments for the economic and sporting development in recent years, and this new leadership is expected to continue this trajectory.
However, specific details about Harald Wirtz's background or his vision and future initiatives for the hockey organization are not yet available. As more information becomes publicly available, updates will be provided.
