Carl Steiner is a German basketball official and entrepreneur .

Life

Steiner's father Karl founded the Steiner-Optik company in 1947 . Carl Steiner, who was a member of the Bavarian team as a show jumper, later took over management of the company.

In 1970 Carl Steiner and his brother Horst were instrumental in founding the TTBG Steiner-Optik Bayreuth table tennis club , whose team was promoted to the Bundesliga. Horst Steiner took over the office of president, Carl Steiner acted as vice president.

The Steiner brothers joined the then economically troubled second division basketball team Olympia USC Bayreuth in 1984 as sponsors . Basketball was added as a second department to the existing table tennis club. The team name was later changed to BG Steiner-Optik Bayreuth, before the name was shortened to Steiner Bayreuth. With Steiner's financial help, Bayreuth developed into a top team in German basketball and was DBB Cup winner in 1988 and German champion and cup winner in 1989. In 1988, the then Lord Mayor Dieter Mronz awarded the Steiner Brothers the Bayreuth Silver Medal. When his brother retired as the club's managing director for professional reasons in 1990, Carl Steiner led the club as president from then on. In 1997 Steiner withdrew from the association and also withdrew the financial support provided by his company Steiner-Optik, but on the occasion of his departure as president, he took over the majority of the association's liabilities, which were offset against future advertising services in favor of Steiner-Optik. The Bayreuth basketball players were relegated to the second division.

From March 2010 he became a member of the economic advisory board for the Bayreuth Bundesliga team. In November 2013, Steiner became a member of the supervisory board of Bamberger Basketball GmbH, the operator of the Bundesliga club Brose Bamberg , also continued to support the Bayreuth Bundesliga team and, according to his own statement, at the end of 2013, together with the Medi company, contributed to saving the city as a Bundesliga location . In spring 2014 he took over the office of chairman of the newly founded supervisory board of Bayreuth Spielbetrieb-GmbH. He stayed in office in Bayreuth until 2016 and got involved later, for example in the search for a new managing director for the Bayreuth Bundesliga club in 2018, when Björn Albrecht was chosen , who had previously worked in Bamberg. Steiner became the sole shareholder of Bayreuth Spielbetrieb-GmbH.
