Stiftung Löwenbrücke Braunschweig

It was three days filled with intense polo action as six German teams, supported by over 100 polo horses, journeyed to PoloPark Berlin to participate in the official German Championship. The German Polo Association graciously acted as the patron of the championship.

Despite a significant rain shower featuring hail and 15 liters of precipitation per square meter, the weather remained largely favorable. As a result, the games were only delayed by two hours on Saturday. Over the weekend, 700 guests enjoyed thrilling chukkas and a variety of entertainment, including a Spanish-themed evening on Friday and an Argentinian ASADO dinner on Saturday.

Jan Zavazal from Prague, known as “The Polo Speaker,” expertly moderated all matches. The German Polo Association appointed Thomas Winter from Hamburg and Dominik Velasquez from Switzerland as the official referees, and they presided over all games.

The exhilarating final on Sunday concluded with Team Löwenbrücke Braunschweig triumphing over Team Brand Galaxy Group with a score of 9.5 to 5. The German Low Goal Polo Champions were hence decided. The champions were an all-female team from Berlin, comprising players Clarissa Marggraf, Maike Hölty, Svenja Hölty, and Marie Haupt.

Thomas Winter, on behalf of Oliver Winter, the President of the German Polo Association, presented the medals and the championship trophy. The details of other match results will follow.
