Biography|Arne Freundt — The Rhine Castle Where the Business Degree Began

People treat Puma's later chief as a product of Herzogenaurach.

The dated school record starts on this Rhine terrace.

Schloss Reichartshausen stands at Rheingaustraße 1 in Oestrich-Winkel, a U-shaped baroque house that has held the EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht since 1980.

Arne Freundt was born in Hamburg on 4 January 1980.

Munzinger records that he studied Betriebswirtschaft here before finishing the degree in Leipzig.

Exchange terms took him to EM Strasbourg Business School and to Sydney.

The castle sits between vineyards and the B42, with the Rhine a short walk beyond the dual carriageway.

EBS added the Walter-Leisler-Kiep-Center in 2000, so the campus he knew already mixed the old wings with a newer teaching block.

No public timetable pins his first lecture to a single morning.

What the sources do pin is the sequence: this house, then Leipzig, then a Munich consulting desk in March 2005.

A private business school on a former monastic farm taught him to read a firm as a system.

That habit is what Siemens hired next.

The visitor today still finds the courtyard and the south wing.

The Rhine is still there, even if the dual carriageway now sits between the park and the water.
