Hamburg, 5 Oct. 2023 – On 1 October, CTS EVENTIM appointed experienced manager, architect and project developer Arne Fritz to the role of Vice President Venues Real Estate. In the newly created position, Arne Fritz will take over some tasks from Executive Vice President Rainer Appel, who is planning to gradually move into a consulting role for the company next year. As well as overseeing the construction of the ARENA FOR MILAN – the biggest and most innovative multipurpose arena in Italy – and the business of the existing venues, Arne Fritz will also be strategically developing the entertainment company’s real estate portfolio to sustainably strengthen its value chain. Arne will report to CEO Klaus-Peter Schulenberg.

His last position there was Associate Partner and Head of Sports and Entertainment. During this time, he played an instrumental role in many prestigious projects. The most notable of these include the successful reorganisation and subsequent completion of the construction of the Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg, Hamburg’s application for the Olympic Games, and numerous other projects for sporting venues, stadiums, and event venues.
