K4 Hill at Viessmann Official Winter Athletes’ Reception as a Guest

RASCHAU/ALLENDORF – 20.03.2014 After the winter sports season and the undisputed winter highlight in Sochi, the German winter athletes will be officially welcomed on April 5th by DSV partner Viessmann in Allendorf. The two Olympic champions Eric Frenzel and Andreas Wank or medalists like Björn Kircheisen and Johannes Rydzek are not only all part of the successful Viessmann team; the experienced ski jumpers and Nordic combined athletes also know best what it feels like to jump off a ramp.

For others, this feels like uncharted territory. A territory Viessmann will make tangible at its reception in cooperation with Peter Riedel GmbH. Athletes and guests in Allendorf will for the first time have the opportunity to experience this unique take-off feeling from the ramp. In a hangar on the Viessmann premises, Peter Riedel GmbH will set up its K4 hill on April 5, 2014 from 5 p.m., giving guests on site the chance to try taking off themselves. Who knows, perhaps Olympic bobsled champion Felix Loch will discover a new sport for himself – or retiring national biathlon coach Uwe Müssiggang will attempt one last big jump? The guest list for Viessmann on this day is diverse. But the K4 hill is not only for entertaining this illustrious crowd but above all for the sport.

“I am extremely happy that this collaboration with Viessmann has come about,” says managing director Peter Riedel. “It is important for us to develop the sport further in our partnerships, so it is personally very important to me that such cooperations are based on a mutual interest in the sport.”

That Peter Riedel does not cloak his business model in empty phrases is shown by the successful development of the Erzgebirge company. By now, Peter Riedel GmbH is already building the third K4 hill due to high demand. It is also intended to be used at future events to place the sport even more prominently. “We are always open to worldwide cooperations – whether with business partners or sports associations. However, it is always important that we can do something good for the sport,” explains Peter Riedel.
