Bernd Steinhauser

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernd Steinhauser (born July 14, 1952 in Ludwigsburg ) is a German handball official .

Steinhauser holds a degree in business administration and studied business administration with a focus on finance. After completing his studies, he went to Daimler-Benz . In 1989 he was appointed DHB Vice President for Finance. He was considered an absolute lateral entrant, who previously only came into contact with handball as a student. The then DHB President Hans-Jürgen Hinrichs brought his colleague from Daimler-Benz to the DHB Presidium. On May 15, 1993 Steinhauser was elected the sixth President of the German Handball Federation (DHB) at the 23rd Ordinary Bundestag and thus Hinrichs' successor. In his election he was able to prevail with three votes ahead of the favored Heinz Jacobsen from Kiel .

During Steinhauser's tenure, the knife attack took place at the 1997 women's handball world championship , in which a drunk German fan stabbed two Danish fans who were also drunk at the semi-final between Denmark and Russia in the Max-Schmeling-Halle . As a reaction to this, Steinhauser let the sponsorship contract with the Krombacher brewery expire and commented on the process with "Despite financial losses we have to send a signal that high-performance sport and alcohol do not belong together".

On October 7, 1998, Steinhauser surprisingly resigned from his position as DHB President.

Ulrich Strombach was his successor . He lifted the "alcohol ban" in 1999 again.
