1996: The first official contact to the BMBC (inofficial we've been there as soon as in 1995)
and the beginning of a wonderful friendship.
Sam McCarthy-Fox tells me: come back with a german team!
 

1997: Not only one team, but 30 people and a convoi of motorhomes touring
trough Germany, France and England to make the marble sport public.
The "Kinderkanal" (german Children's TV) is for the smaller ones, and Koestritzer is for the bigger ones with us.
 

The Greyhound - Home of Marbles, the Mecca for all marble players
 
 
 

The chief referee
 

The whole "Koestritzer" team
 

The Team Doctor, Hartmut K., explains our good conditions: That's just because of the Koestritzer Beer!
 

The aim of all our dreams: the cup of the world champion
 

Some think of the second price as the better one: a box full of beer for everyone
 

Our strongest weapon: Holger, the Terrible Teutonic Thumb
 

A hit for the Koestritzers: the cheerleaders cheer with the german national colours!
 

Sometimes, the morris dancers of the "Rumplin Drumskins" are among the guests
 

1998: The raining championship. With the help of the rainroofs of the Koestritzers, the Center Court was kept mostly dry.
 

Beer of the winners: the world champions, the Black Dogs, are drinking Koestritzer!
 

Characters, where ever you look (and always with Koestritzer!)
 

The Koestritzers in the interest of media.
