Ninja Warrior star Marvin Mitterhuber surprisingly quits!
In a surprising twist, Marvin Mitterhuber's impressive career on “Ninja Warrior Germany” ends. The 31-year-old announced after the last preliminary show: "That's it! Now it's done." After ten years on the popular show and five finals, in which he finished sixth in 2022, Mitterhuber is now drawing the line and leaving the competition arena in a moment that was emotional for both him and numerous fans.
Mitterhuber announced his resignation immediately after the buzzer, causing mixed feelings among the audience. The 31-year-old leaves a big gap not only in the show, but also in the hearts of the viewers who rooted for him.
The big surprise of the preliminary round
In the last preliminary round, Lukas Homann, only 18 years old, set an exclamation mark on the ladder to heaven with an impressive time of 15.57 seconds and won 5,000 euros. Philipp Göthert, 24 years old, followed in second place and received 2,500 euros after being eliminated after seven rungs. Thorben Hinkel (22) and Milan Schirowski (35) were also able to qualify and received 1,000 euros and 500 euros.
The performance of the women is also particularly worth mentioning. Andrea Meßner, 30, qualified as the best woman for the newly introduced hanging special, which gives more and more female athletes the chance to show off in this demanding competition. 16-year-old Henriette Becker also reached the semi-finals and is therefore the second best woman in the preliminary round.
The coming challenges
Other athletes have qualified for the Hangel special, which will be broadcast on RTL on November 13, 2025, including Patrick Fries (30), Jona Palm (17), Philipp Allgeuer (32), Lucien Riegert (36) and Christian Balkheimer (32). The event promises to be exciting as the winner can win a whopping 10,000 euros.
In addition, the final of “Ninja Warrior Germany” will also offer a special highlight: René Casselly, the only winner of 300,000 euros in the history of the show, will compete on December 13, 2025 and will try to show his dominance in this competition season.
A look at the winning stories
The list of “Last Man Standing” winners crowned since the first season in 2016 is impressive. Nicola Wulf, who became the first woman to win this title in 2024, and Stefanie Noppinger, who won it in 2020 and 2021, made history. Philipp Göthert also won the title in 2023 and this year it will be interesting again to see who can prevail.
The constant development of the show shows that it produces new talent every year and that amazing twists and exciting duels can often be expected among the athletes. Fans of “Ninja Warrior Germany” should stay tuned and look forward to the next competitions.
The lively media coverage of the show and the athletes shows once again how important “Ninja Warrior Germany” is for the sports community and what influence it has on the athletes. Whether with “Ninja Warrior” or the latest products such as the popular Ninja kitchen helpers – the fascination remains.
