Athletic career

Young player in Quakenbrück

Günter Kollmann had learned to play with basketball at the Artland-Gymnasium, in the 1950s together with the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Gymnasium Osnabrück one of two “germ cells” of basketball in the Osnabrück region. Despite his length (1.95 meters), he did not play in fifth position as a center with his back to the basket. He was an excellent distance thrower who could hardly be defended because of his enormous jumping strength, and a good rebounder, coming into the room from outside to secure the free ball at ring level, in defense and attack.

As a youth player of the Quakenbrücker TSV (QTSV), Günter Kollmann was invited by the national basketball coach at the time, Yakovos Bilek, to courses aimed at promoting and screening young male basketball players in the DBB. The coach of the Lower Saxony Basketball Association at the time, Felix Szöllösy from Braunschweig , appointed Günter Kollmann to the squad of the youth team of the Lower Saxony Basketball Association (NBV) in 1966. Together with three other A youth players from the Osnabrück basketball district, Günter Miemitz, Osnabrücker TC, and Egon Homm and Karl Vennegeerts, both from VfL Osnabrück, the Lower Saxony youth team won the German Youth Cup of the German Basketball Federation (DBB) in 1966 . Twelve association selections took part in the tournament. The four players from the Osnabrück region scored 48 points in the final against Hessen (68:61). In the tournament games and especially in the final, Kollmann was one of the most powerful and, because of his enormous jumping ability, one of the most noticeable youth players on the floor. In 1967, Günter Kollmann belonged to the A youth team of the QTSV, which was Lower Saxony champion and subsequently reached second place in the A youth championship in the Regionalliga Nord.

Supporter of basketball in Quakenbrück

Quakenbrücker TSV

Günter Kollmann remained connected to the Quakenbrücker TSV and his Quakenbrücker basketball comrades in Artland during and after his membership in the first division teams in Osnabrück and Düsseldorf . After Günter Kollmann, known in basketball circles as "Ice" Kollmann, had completed his studies in Mönchengladbach and had ended his career as a basketball league player in the 1971/1972 basketball season because of the entrepreneurial activity that had started, a development began in Quakenbrück, which in 2003 led to Spin-off of the Bundesliga basketball team into a newly founded sponsoring company, whose main task is to secure the economic conditions for the training and match operations of the three Bundesliga teams of the Artland Dragons ( BBL , NBBL and JBBL ), also on a European level.

Günter Kollmann played with his basketball teammates from QTSV first in the Verbandsliga West, in 1972 he was promoted to the upper league, followed by promotion to the 1st Regionalliga Nord in 1973. In 1975 he was promoted to the second basketball division . The coach at the time of promotion to the Bundesliga was Kollmann's former teammate and participant in the 1972 Summer Olympics, Helmut Uhlig . A first milestone in the direction of the professionalization of basketball in Quakenbrück was the engagement of the American NCAA college player John Anderson, who is always considered “unforgettable” in Quakenbrück. Günter Kollmann was able to play three seasons, most recently in the 1977/1978 season, in the second national basketball league, but never in Quakenbrück at home games due to the lack of a suitable sports hall. For the men's team of the QTSV, after relegation from the second basketball league to promotion to the first basketball league in 2003, twenty-five seasons in the leading DBB leagues and, after reunification, in German basketball, with varying success . Numerous players and coaches, often with experience in international basketball, were brought to Quakenbrück. One of the most prominent among them was the American college player and German national team player Joachim Linnemann in the 1970s, like Helmut Uhlig, a participant in the 1972 Summer Olympics.

During this long period, Günter Kollmann's interest in training and playing the QTSV basketball players never waned, he could be seen again and again on the line in the hall. Together with his family, he encouraged and supported wherever he could. Even Dirk Nowitzki competed with TSK Würzburg in the DBB Cup against the QTSV in 1998 when he was a drafted NBA player . Kollmann has never lost sight of the goal of seeing a Quakenbrücker basketball team play in the first Bundesliga. In these twenty-five years, however, he became increasingly aware that success in top-class sport above all requires very broad, systematic support for children and young people. Günther Kollmann is considered to be the initiator of the enormous enthusiasm for basketball in Artland, which radiates far into the Osnabrück region . The patrons, Johanna and Günter Kollmann, have therefore always attached particular importance to the targeted support of children and young people, especially in the field of school sports and in the Quakenbrücker TSV . For young basketball players, the concept includes the options of recreational or popular sports activities or training to become competitive athletes in basketball league games at all levels of performance. The development initiated by Günter Kollmann and his wife Johanna in Artland and the resulting “enthusiasm for basketball” in the citizens of Artland has resulted in the training of girls to become basketball players receiving a great deal of attention. The QTSV is represented with its most powerful women's team, the TSV Quakenbrück Dragons , in the second women's basketball league . At the end of 2012, a total of 450 players registered with the DBB belonged to the basketball department of the QTSV. At the beginning of the 2012/2013 season, a total of twenty-three teams from the QTSV and Artland Dragons (three teams) were registered for the DBB and BBL league competitions . The Quakenbrücker basketball department is one of the five largest basketball departments in Germany. The positive development could only take place because numerous basketball players actively participated in the QTSV - as trainers, as supervisors, as referees, as referees, as helpers with the "smallest things" in connection with a training session or a game day, etc. Since 2003 and 2006 respectively, the city of Quakenbrück has had two sports halls, the Artland-Arena (multifunctional hall) and the Artland sports hall (school sports and training hall), which can be used by basketball players.

Artland Dragons

In the operative league and team management of the supporting company of Artland Dragons (AG Osnabrück HRB 21091, registered since August 2003), which is responsible for the training and Bundesliga match operations of three teams - in the BBL and the also male Young Dragons teams in the NBBL and JBBL - Günter Kollmann is not involved and has no direct or immediate responsibility for it. The Artland Dragons and the Kollmann family do not communicate how the special expertise of the former basketball Bundesliga and European Cup player will be used by the economic sponsor of the Artland Dragons. It is known that Günter Kollmann was managing director of an investment company (AG Osnabrück HRA 7098) based in Quakenbrück on December 31, 2009, who is the sole shareholder of the supporting company of Artland Dragons or who holds shares in it together with other shareholders. In the various official lists of Artland Dragons sponsors, Günter Kollmann himself or his family is not mentioned as one of the sponsors. The main and jersey sponsor of the BBL Club is, along with a group of other sponsors and advertising partners, the leisure and sportswear manufacturer Medico in Albstadt , a group company of the Quakenbrücker JCK Holding .
