Athletes from the Main-Taunus district shine with great honors!

On October 29, 2025, the annual Main Taunus sports ceremony took place in the district sports hall, a real highlight for all sports enthusiasts in the region. Around 500 athletes from the Main-Taunus district were honored for exceptional achievements. In his speech, District Administrator Michael Cyriax emphasized the enormous importance of sports clubs for the community, as well as the valuable voluntary work, which is without a doubt a mainstay of sport. This event illustrates how important volunteering in sport is - not only for competitive sports, but also in the leisure and health sectors.

Particularly noteworthy: five world championship titles were awarded during the ceremony. The proudest among those honored were:

• Daniel Waldmann (Tennis 65 Eschborn)
• Frank Gruner (SCW Eschborn)
• Peter Oberließen (LG Bad Soden-Langenhain)
• Margret Göttnauer (LG Bad Soden-Langenhain)
• Damen 30 von Tennis 65 Eschborn

Awards and records

But that wasn't all: ten European championship titles and a whopping 46 German championship titles were also awarded. Margret Göttnauer has already collected 32 titles in recent years - an impressive result that makes her the most successful athlete in the honor. Franz Fischer follows her with 29 titles. The athletes were particularly successful in the sports of swimming and lifesaving.

Another highlight of the honor was the award given to David Hagemeyer from Kelkheim, who won the title of German champion in track golf (minigolf). The large number of participants required a new location, which is why the event took place for the first time in the district sports hall, which proved to be the perfect backdrop for this sporting festival. The event was moderated by Claudia Kuhn, the MTK's volunteer officer.

Support and community

Taunus Sparkasse, as the main sponsor of the event, makes a significant contribution to supporting the region. This partnership shows how important it is to pull together to support the clubs and their members. The athletes honored included athletes from a variety of clubs, including:

• Schützengesellschaft 1956 Eschborn e.V.
• 1. TSC Hochheim e.V.
• BC Main-Taunus-Redwings e.V.
• BGSV Bad Homburg e.V.
• DLRG Eschborn e.V.
• SCW Eschborn e.V.
• und viele weitere.

Volunteering plays a central role in sport, as does the DOSB emphasized. Without the active support of over 8 million members, non-profit sport, whether recreational or competitive, would be unthinkable. In view of changing social developments, it is becoming increasingly important how traditional volunteer work can be combined with modern ways of life. Innovation and creativity are required here to make volunteering attractive and to reduce bureaucratic hurdles.

In summary, it can be said that the Main Taunus Sports Awards not only honors the outstanding achievements of the athletes, but also focuses on the great commitment of the clubs and their members. It is this community that keeps sport alive in the Main-Taunus district. It is to be hoped that many talents will continue to be supported in the future and that the successes of the athletes will continue to grow.
