Handball

Sengera was a goalkeeper at TuS Wellinghofen . In 1964 he won the German field handball championship with Dortmund. In the winter of 1964/65 he was in goal at two indoor internationals for the German national team against Switzerland and Norway.

On the field and in the hall he played for the TuS in the Bundesliga . In his 94 games in the indoor Bundesliga, he scored three goals. On November 27, 1966, he scored the first goal of a goalkeeper in the indoor Bundesliga in the away game at Hamburger SV. In 1971 Sengera was with TuS Wellinghofen after winning the Bundesliga North Relay for a second time in the final of the German Field Handball Championship, but was subject to TSV Grün-Weiß Dankersen .

Banking career

Sengera studied business administration and economics and began his career at WestLB in 1971 . In 1977 he moved to NORD / LB . In 1984 he was appointed to the Executive Board of WestLB. On September 1, 2001, he succeeded Friedel Neuber as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Düsseldorf credit institution. In 2002, under his leadership, the Landesbank's business was divided into a commercial bank and the NRW.BANK development bank . He also sold the Westdeutsche Landesbausparkasse to the savings banks for around four billion DM in order to use the capital to build up investment banking .

After the London subsidiary of Bank high losses had occurred and a subsequent special audit of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority had certified the bank lack of risk control, Sengera resigned in June 2003 from his post.

Criminal proceedings

In June 2007, Sengera, a former board member of WestLB, was charged with suspicion of serious breach of trust. The subsequent proceedings concerned the allegation of breach of trust in a risky loan of DM 1.3 billion to the British television distributor Boxclever in 1999.

After the Düsseldorf Regional Court acquitted Sengera in 2008 for lack of intent, the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) overturned the acquittal on August 13, 2009 and referred the proceedings back to the Regional Court. In view of the fact that it was about a one-off misconduct without personal gain and that the act was long ago, the Düsseldorf Regional Court closed the proceedings on February 18, 2013 in return for payment of 100,000 euros to charitable organizations. Sengera, who agreed to the hiring as well as the public prosecutor, does not have a criminal record.
