Schorndorf is changing: Sven Pflug is leaving, Michael Rathgeb-Wright is coming!

Exciting changes are coming to Schorndorf! Sven Pflug, the long-time hall manager of the Künkelinhalle, will go into well-deserved retirement on February 1, 2026. After many years of dedicated work, he will ensure that his successor is well trained until his last day. Pflug had a knack for organizing many of the events that made the Künkelinhalle so popular, and now Michael Rathgeb-Wright is ready to follow in his footsteps.

Michael Rathgeb-Wright, who will take on the role of department manager from January 1, 2026, brings a lot of experience in the event sector. He worked in Stuttgart for many years and has lived with his family in Schorndorf for five years. This familiarity with the region will certainly help him to quickly adapt to the new position. The 25th anniversary of the Künkelinhalle, celebrated at the end of 2025, marks an important moment in the hall's history and offers an ideal setting for the generational change.

A look into the future of the Künkelinhalle

The change in management also ushers in a new chapter for the Künkelinhalle. Rathgeb-Wright has set itself the goal of further developing the hall as an event location and implementing innovative concepts. He will draw on his many years of experience and use fresh ideas to shape the upcoming events.

Changes are not only coming on the organizational side, the protection of confidentiality and the security of personal data also enjoy top priority. The Künkelinhalle uses the most modern security standards to meet the requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). This is ensured through technical and organizational measures to protect visitors' data and protect their rights. The hall attaches great importance to transparency and legal compliance, which is becoming increasingly important these days.

So it remains exciting to see what the future holds for the Künkelinhalle and its new leader. The team around Rathgeb-Wright is already in the starting blocks to continue to offer guests an outstanding experience in the years to come. Whether at cultural events, trade fairs or celebratory occasions - the Künkelinhalle remains a central place in the lives of Schorndorf residents and will continue to be very popular in the future.
