Two real Swabians, Olaf Danner and Frieder Hottmann, make POOLgroup Süd GmbH more personal. In future these two event professionals manage together the Stuttgart Office of Event-Production Company POOLgroup GmbH with its headquarters in Emsdetten (Münsterland Area).

Frieder Hottmann (40) was born in Stuttgart on July 6th, 1970. He is resident in Stuttgart, married and father of three children.

During his school days Frieder Hottmann has already been working as a stagehand at various event locations.

After his on-the-job training as an industrial clerk and some experience in the industry, he has been working for the event business since the early 90s. He gained initial experience – among other things – as a freelancer of Leonberg Municipal Hall for ticketing - in particular, however, also for planning and realization of events and congresses.

Due to his many years of experience and his solid and always customer-oriented working method he started his own business in 1997 and founded Hottmedia GmbH as event producer and managing partner.

Since May 1st, 2010, Frieder Hottmann is one of the two managing directors of POOLgroup Süd GmbH with its location in Stuttgart Römerkastell.

Olaf Danner (46) was born in Stuttgart on 1st of January, 1964. He is living in the heart of Stuttgart and father of 3 children.

Olaf Danner, the Stuttgart event legend, challenges this new and exciting task at POOLgroup. Typical for him: Even as a schoolboy he was “slave” of the Rock’n Roll and increased his pocket money as a stagehand. Danner is a “doer”, a real “Hands on Man”.

The trained businessman has been working for Konzertdirektion Michael Russ for a period of 25 years. He started his career with a typical education. Since 2005 the event expert Danner – by no means unknown outside Stuttgart – has been managing director of Russ Konzertdirektion.

Together with his managing partner Frieder Hottmann he will passionately face the new challenge and will be glad to prove his strategic qualifications in a new environment.
