Manager fired by Barenboim is reinstated by court order
mainA Berlin labout court has ruled that an event manager, Lutz Imhof, be given back his job from which he was fired after a complaint by Daniel Barenboim.
Barenboim, it was alleged, was forced to walk 200 metres on his own two feet after Imhof’s security men refused to let his chauffeur drive through a barrier to the Waldbühne stage in August 2018.
Interior and sports senator Andreas Geisel promptly demoted Imhof to a peripheral post in the Sportforum Hohenschönhausen. Imhof called his lawyers and the court has ruled he should now get his job back. Unless Barenboim appeals.
