Life

In 1987 Tessmann defended the main defendant in what was then the largest economic process in the world. He negotiated with the then chairman of the board, Carl Hahn, and achieved the release of his client when the damage to the Volkswagen group was expected to total over 500 million Deutschmarks . A short time later he switched to business. As a co-opted member of the board of Hansa Rostock , he accompanied the champions of the GDR Oberliga in the Bundesliga and played a large part in the association's cooperation with major sponsors.

He was signed by New Yorker in 1990 and restructured the group under the direction of today's sole shareholder Friedrich Georg Knapp . The old shareholders were compensated and Knapp became the sole owner. He surprised retailers when he filed for bankruptcy against competitor Jean Pascale (JP), and JP disappeared from the market a little later. In 2004 he left New Yorker in the position of a general manager.

He made one last appearance as a defense attorney, which was covered by the media, as part of the defense of the president of a major Ukrainian bank.

Tessmann fell ill with Parkinson's disease and lives mostly in central Africa .
