Holger Fleisch (born April 22, 1966 in Esslingen am Neckar ) is a German handball referee . Together with Jürgen Rieber , he forms the A-team team Fleisch / Rieber.

Holger Fleisch started as a referee in 1983. Three years later he whistled for the first time together with his current team partner Jürgen Rieber. In 1996, both rose to the elite squad of the German Handball Federation (DHB). Since 2001, both have also been used internationally as referees in the European Handball Federation (EHF). In 2009 they were accepted into the elite squad of the EHF. This entitles both of them to direct European Cup matches from the quarter-finals. At DHB level, both whistled over 600 and internationally over 100 games (as of May 2011). On April 11, 2010, Fleisch and Rieber led the final of the DHB-Pokal 2009/10 , a total of five times at the Final Four . So far you have twice whistled the women's final for the German championship and three times the DHB Cup final for women.

In 2006, Fleisch and Rieber rejected attempts to bribe Russian officials before a women's Champions League game and immediately reported the matter to the DHB referee by SMS . They also reported the attempted bribery in writing to the EHF, which did not publish the case, but imposed a protective ban on Fleisch and Rieber for several months . When attempts at bribery in international handball became known in 2009 (see, for example, Frank Lemme / Bernd Ullrich and Uwe Schwenker / Zvonimir Serdarušić ) and the EHF announced that it had "not been aware of a single allegation of bribery and that not a single allegation had been reported", meat went Rieber with her case to the public. Only then did the EHF take on the attempt at bribery three years ago.

In 2011, Holger Fleisch and Jürgen Rieber received the Bernhard Kempa Prize from the Württemberg Handball Association (HVW).

The trained master model maker lives in Nellingen auf den Fildern , is married and has two children.
