Jörg Strenger (born July 5, 1948 ) is a former racing cyclist and German cycling manager .

Life

In the mid-1960s he was active as a cyclist in the SC DHfK Leipzig as a rail and road driver. In 1967 he competed in the GDR tour and finished the race 51st in the overall classification. Strenger was at the time of the German Democratic Republic major in the Ministry for State Security and in this position at the MfS district administration Leipzig in Department XX. There the “safeguarding of the state apparatus, state institutions, church and culture” was one of his areas of responsibility. His department was also responsible for monitoring the German University for Physical Culture and Sport (DHfK) and the Research Institute for Physical Culture and Sport . He was head of the MfS working group “Actions and Deployments” and as such was also responsible for the gymnastics and sports festivals of the GDR in Leipzig. In 1989 Strenger had 95 employees in his department.

Between 2001 and 2005 Strenger was manager of the Wiesenhof cycling team . He was instrumental in building up the Milram team by establishing contact with Nordmilch . In September 2005, Strenger was introduced as the manager of the new team, but was dismissed a few days later because, according to the CEO of Nordmilch, Strenger was "a constituent part of the inhuman system" in the GDR. Strenger said he did not hide his past from anyone.

From 1997 to 2004 Strenger worked for the International Peace Tour as a co-organizer and marketing officer. He was credited with securing the survival of the race by attracting funders. According to the newspaper Die Welt , Strenger was, alongside Täve Schur and Volker Mattausch, the savior of the peace drive that existed until 2006. With his sports and marketing agency, Strenger was the organizer of bike races, including the German Road Championships in 2006 and, from 2009, the Tour de Sandanski in Bulgaria . Furthermore, together with Olaf Ludwig, he conducted tours for recreational cyclists in Bulgaria and on the Baltic Sea.

He was managing director of the dairy company Sahneböhm GmbH and, from 2008, managing director of Frischepartner-Sahneböhm GmbH, a commercial agency for food and other goods.
