Leading player with the Cologne Sharks

For the 2008/09 season , Christoph Ullmann was once again committed by the then Haie coach Doug Mason from the Cologne ice hockey club and reigning runner-up, where he should take on a leadership role. Ullmann was his team's best scorer that season, but could not prevent an overall disappointing season for the Domstadt team.

In the 2014/15 season , Ullmann was able to celebrate his second German championship with the Adler with a 4-2 win in the final series against ERC Ingolstadt after first place in the main round . On October 14, 2016 in the 2016/17 season in a 4-2 home win against Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven , Ullmann scored his 151st goal for the Adler, replacing René Corbét as the record scorer. When Ullmann left the Adler at the end of the 2017/18 season after a total of twelve seasons, he had scored 135 goals and 145 assists in 561 DEL games for the Kurpfälzer and was thus both top scorer and goalscorer in the "all-time best list" when he left " of the club.

Change to the Augsburg panthers
