Herwig Ahrendsen

Herwig Ahrendsen (born March 1, 1948 in Husum ) is a former German handball player .

Live and act

The 1.80 m tall left winger and circle runner played at THW Kiel since 1963 and was in the handball Bundesliga from 1967 .

Ahrendsen played 40 international matches for the national team , scoring 35 goals. He was in the squad for the 1970 World Cup , but missed participation because he broke his foot shortly before the World Cup began. At the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich , he alternated with Herbert Rogge on the left wing. The German team finished sixth in the end.

After his sporting career, the lawyer Ahrendsen made a political career. He was deputy government spokesman in the Barschel II cabinet and a close confidante of Uwe Barschel . Ahrendsen was closely involved in the Barschel affair. When the matter threatened to be exposed, Ahrendsen lied in favor of Barschel, as the Kiel investigative committee of the Schleswig-Holstein state parliament found out in 1988 to investigate Barschel's activities. He was acquitted of the allegation of endless false statements in the criminal proceedings before the district court in Kiel. After Barschel's death, Ahrendsen became a department head at the regional finance office in Kiel. Ahrendsen was suspended from duty in 1997 after he had wrongly passed on compensation payments from tax revenues to an acquaintance, sentenced to probation in 2004 and then released from civil service.
