Uwe Swivel (* 24. March 1959 in Bremen ) is a former German handball player and since July 2014 President of the League Association of the German Handball League . From 1992 to 2009 he was managing director of THW Kiel Handball-Bundesliga GmbH & Co. KG.

Career

As a player

In his youth, Uwe Schwenker first played football at SV Werder Bremen . He came to handball through his father Hinrich Schwenker , one of the most successful German handball players of the 1950s and 1960s, who, as a national coach, needed a left winger for a tournament. When he had to give up playing football due to a foot injury, Schwenker concentrated entirely on handball. From 1978 he played with the TV Grambke-Bremen in the handball Bundesliga . In 1980 he then moved to THW Kiel. For THW he played over 282 Bundesliga games until 1992, in which he scored 1,265 goals, 358 of which were seven meters . In the all-time Bundesliga scorers list , he is 27th with 1346/361 goals. From 1987 to 1992 he was the successor to Dierk Berner team captain of the THW Kiel. In his playing days he was nicknamed Mister Counterstroke because of his fast counter-attack .

For the German national team with which he wore at the 1984 Olympics , the silver medal won, Cameraman denied 72 A internationals in which he 164 goals - 17 of them by seven meters - achieved.

As a manager

In 1992, the handball national league team of THW Kiel was spun off from the entire club. Uwe Schwenker became managing director of THW Kiel Handball-Bundesliga Verwaltungs GmbH, founded for this purpose . In the 1992/93 season he took over the coaching office for eleven games after Holger Oertel had resigned after the 15:21 defeat against the later relegated HC Empor Rostock .

As a new coach, Schwenker signed for the 1993/94 season Zvonimir "Noka" Serdarušić , with whom he had played together for the THW in 1980/81 - against the resistance of the long-time league chairman Heinz Jacobsen . This began the rise of THW Kiel to become a top European club. In the next 15 years, the team won 25 national and international titles, including the triple in 2007 with winning the championship , DHB Cup and Champions League . Serdarusišić's contract was terminated in summer 2008 after he and Schwenker fell out over their wives. Alfreð Gíslason was hired as his successor .

In March 2009, allegations were made that Schwenker and Serdarušić had bribed the referees in the 2007 Champions League final against SG Flensburg-Handewitt . As a result, on April 7, 2009, Schwenker resigned from the position of THW managing director. His open-ended contract was canceled by mutual agreement on June 30, 2009 without any severance payment.

The public prosecutor in Kiel accused him of manipulating the 2007 Champions League final by bribing referees and charged him and former coach Serdarušić in 2010 with fraud and infidelity. The district court of Kiel opened the main proceedings in January 2011 and admitted the indictment with the exception that there was only suspicion of jointly committed bribery in business dealings ( Section 299 of the Criminal Code). On January 26, 2012, Schwenker was acquitted on all counts by the Kiel Regional Court. On the appeal by the public prosecutor, the Federal Court of Justice partially overturned the judgment on November 28, 2012 and referred the matter back to the court of origin. By judgment of the Regional Court of Kiel on April 10, 2013, he was also legally acquitted of the remaining charge of breach of trust.

In the 2013/14 season, Schwenker worked as a consultant for the second division club HC Empor Rostock. On July 3, 2014, he was elected as the successor to Reiner Witte as President of the League Association of the Handball Bundesliga .

Schwenker has been married for the second time since September 7, 2012. He has a daughter from his first marriage. In addition to his handball activities, he runs an insurance agency and a sports marketing company.
