Dieter Hahn
Dieter Hahn (born June 20, 1961 in Oberhausen in the Rhineland ) is a German manager.
Life
After graduating from high school, Hahn first completed a banking apprenticeship. He then studied law at the Universities of Freiburg im Breisgau and Hamburg . In 1990 he finished his studies with the state examination. After completing the trainee program of the Axel Springer Verlag , Hahn became sales manager of the Spanish daily Claro that same year , which was unsuccessful on the market.
In 1992 Dieter Hahn completed his dissertation on the subject of the hostile takeover of stock corporations: a legal-economic analysis . In the same year he took over the deputy publishing management of the magazine Super , which was not economically viable. The following year he moved from Axel Springer Verlag to the Kirch Group as managing director of DSF . In 1997 Leo Kirch appointed him to the management of the Kirch Group. A year later he became vice chairman.
Under the management of Dieter Hahn, the Kirch Group was to become the first fully integrated media company in Germany in 2001, and in 2002 to be listed on the stock exchange as KirchMedia AG. In spring 2002, however, the over-indebted Kirch group filed for bankruptcy . The then head of Deutsche Bank, Rolf Breuer , had already publicly questioned Kirch's creditworthiness in a television interview. The intertwined Kirch empire collapsed with 100 subsidiaries, 10,000 employees and an estimated ten billion euros in debt. From the end of the year Hahn concentrated on the processes surrounding the company subsidiary Taurus .
The Munich public prosecutor's office stopped investigations into bankruptcy crimes against him and other Kirch managers in 2005 . For falsification of documents , however, fines were imposed on Leo Kirch and his vice Dieter Hahn. Hahn had to pay 54,000 euros.
Since 2006 he has been the champion of Leo Kirch in his fight for damages against the former Deutsche Bank boss Breuer, which ended with a settlement at the beginning of 2014. In 2007 Hahn planned a comeback in the media business together with Leo Kirch. With Sirius SportMedia GmbH they secured the television rights for the Bundesliga from 2009 to 2015. However, after an intervention by the Federal Cartel Office, the contract was terminated again.
As part of his testimony in the later indictment against former managers of Deutsche Bank for attempted fraudulent proceedings, Hahn admitted that he was involved in the payment of Deutsche Bank with 200 million euros from the Kirch heirs.
