Kofler wants to let Dümmel go first

After the sale of Ralf Dümmel's consumer goods company to Georg Kofler, it is unclear what will happen next on "Die Höhle der Löwen".

Ralf Dümmel has sold his consumer goods company to Georg Kofler's Social Chain AG for 220.5 million euros(we reported). In a Gründerszene interview, the two "Die Höhle der Löwen" jurors now spoke about their future on the Vox show - and leave little hope for joint appearances.

"It's very unlikely that Georg and I will occupy two chairs on the show in the future and shout deals at each other from a distance. That wouldn't be fair to fellow lions either," says Dümmel in the Gründerszene interview. Kofler could imagine taking turns with Dümmel on a regular basis. Nevertheless, he would like to give the popular lion the lead. "A show like "Die Höhle der Löwen", without "dümmel" every week, would hardly be conveyable to the viewers," says Kofler.

Both lions will still be on the show until the fall of 2022. The episodes that are to be aired by then have already been shot. In the coming weeks, new contracts for the fall season 2022 are to be negotiated. Then it will be decided what will happen next with the investors Dümmel and Kofler on "Die Höhle der Löwen".
