Christian Heintz – That's how he rolls

What makes you laugh?

Christian Heintz: Sarcasm and people who are able to laugh about themselves. Because life is serious enough.

What have you always been wanting to do and why have you never done this so far?

Christian Heintz: Bungee Jumping from a bridge with the head dipping into the water. But so far I haven't received any reliable statements as to whether my healthy leg would withstand it.

Which person has influenced you most? And why?

Christian Heintz: Here I would like to name four people: my girlfriend, my sister and my parents. They have all shown me how strong family forces can be and that one can also gain positive things from supposedly difficult life situations. 

You have the chance to become the Commissioner for the Disabled. What would you do first?

Christian Heintz: I would work for the promotion of disabled sports at the grassroots level. At the top, good results have already been achieved in recent years. But the promotion and support of non-Paralympic sports is still absolutely expandable in Germany.

Christian Heintz: Cologne's motto which says: "levve un levve losse." (English: To live and let live). Because we need more tolerance and acceptance in our society.

I would like to be...

Christian Heintz: ...with a good friend live at the Super Bowl. We've already managed to see an NFL game in San Francisco, but the Super Bowl is still missing as an absolute highlight.

Which question would you like answered the most?

Christian Heintz: When will the 1. FC Köln become German Soccer Champion again?

What else I wanted to say...

Christian Heintz: "Life means change." Be flexible in your head and don't stick to this one solution. Because it usually comes differently than you think.
