Michael Kempter (born January 28, 1983 in Sauldorf ) is a German football referee . He is the youngest referee to date to appear in the top German division, the Bundesliga . In addition, in 2010 he was the youngest German referee ever to be listed by the world association FIFA , but remained without a commitment.

Athletic career

At the age of ten, Michael Kempter already acted as a line judge in the Kreisliga B games of VfR Sauldorf , the club in his home town in southern Baden-Württemberg, and was allowed to whistle his first game in the E-Juniors when he was eleven. The club is part of the South Baden Football Association, Bodensee district. At the age of eleven he wrote a letter to Eugen Strigel and asked the DFB instructor: “How do I become a referee?” District referee chairman Siegfried Knoll recognized and promoted this talent.

On January 28, 1995, his twelfth birthday, Michael Kempter passed the referee examination with special permission in order to be allowed to whistle in the senior sector and has been referee for VfR Sauldorf ever since. He first began to whistle games with his comrades of the same age. He was also active as a midfielder in the C-Juniors. In the same year he whistled for the first time a county league game .

At the age of 18, Kempter made his debut as an assistant referee in the 2nd Bundesliga , two years later as a referee in the regional league . In the following season he was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga and on September 24, 2004 led the match between Rot-Weiß Erfurt and LR Ahlen . At the age of 21, as the youngest referee in the 2nd Bundesliga, he was also the best referee in his first year. However, this record was beaten on September 12, 2008 by his younger brother Robert Kempter , who at the age of 20 led the second division match between Alemannia Aachen and FC Ingolstadt 04 .

Michael Kempter was in charge of the test match between the German national soccer team and the then national league club FSV 63 Luckenwalde on May 16, 2006 in the Carl Benz stadium in Mannheim. Michael Kempter has been in charge of games in the 1st Bundesliga since the 2006/07 season . He made his debut there on August 26, 2006 at the age of 23 in the game between VfL Bochum and Energie Cottbus . So far, nobody has been younger than Michael Kempter to whistle a game in the 1st Bundesliga.

Michael Kempter gained his first international experience, for example on July 23, 2005 in the UI Cup at Newcastle United against MFK Dubnica as assistant to referee Knut Kircher and on October 2, 2007 as fourth official in the Champions League group match between CSKA Moscow and Fenerbahçe Istanbul .

Since January 1, 2010, the beginning of the second half of the 2009/10 season, Michael Kempter has been the youngest German referee ever to be appointed to international matches by the world association FIFA . Kempter no longer appeared on the 2011 FIFA list. He had not directed an international match in his only year as a FIFA referee.

On August 18, 2012, Kempter celebrated his comeback as a referee; he directed a game in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg . After the end of the 2013/14 season, Kempter rose to the top of the league in the regional league and has been leading games there ever since.

Affair over allegation of sexual harassment by Manfred Amerell

Michael Kempter

Kempter raised allegations to the referee official Manfred Amerell , which led to his resignation from DFB offices in February 2010. Since these allegations were judged to be untenable by the Augsburg Public Prosecutor , the DFB downgraded Kempter to the 3rd division. On July 24, 2010, the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that Amerell was seeking € 150,000 in damages in a civil case against Kempter. The lawsuit was initially dismissed on May 12, 2011 in the first instance. It ended on December 7, 2011 before the Stuttgart Higher Regional Court with a settlement in which Kempter withdrew two of his own complaints and noticeably relativized his allegations against Amerell, who dropped his claim for damages.

In 2009, Kempter was sentenced to a fine of 23,750 euros for tax evasion in several cases. In connection with the Amerell-Kempter conflict, according to the kicker, there is an anonymous complaint that on October 24, 2011 led to house searches of numerous referees and the DFB by the tax investigators.
