More information can be found in the joint press release from 3C-Carbon and HC Landsberg:

The 3C-Carbon Group Ltd is making another significant commitment to the town of Landsberg. The dynamically growing high-tech company from the south of the city will for several years starting with the 2017/18 season be the exclusive main sponsor of the ice hockey club HC Landsberg. The respective contract was signed by 3C chair Karsten Jerschke and HCL board members Markus Haschka and Frank Kurz before the play-off home game against ECDC Memmingen. With this outstanding commitment, 3C is doing more than just supporting the successful Bayernliga team of the Riverkings. It’s also expressly acknowledging the club’s outstanding youth development work.

Karsten Jerschke (Chair of the 3C-Carbon Group AG)

“We have been watching HC Landsberg for a long time and we are impressed with the work that is being done here. Within a few years, and via solidarity, excellence and enormous commitment, it has been possible to create new faith in ice hockey in Landsberg and to establish the Riverkings as a team with a likeable image in the top flight of an attractive sporting league. These are the skills and values which we, as a successful company, are happy to support.

As a market leader in a high-tech industry, we too know the importance of having a highly qualified and well-motivated junior team. Thanks to the excellent work of HCL in this area, Landsberg is establishing itself as a top hockey location – just as the 3C-Carbon Group is doing in the technology sector. And it’s not least for this reason that we are happy to be showing our commitment.”

Markus Haschka (1st Board Member) und Frank Kurz (Head of Marketing HC Landsberg)

“That it is the Landsberg company 3C-Carbon Group AG getting on board as main sponsor of the Riverkings is especially pleasing for us as the current board of HC Landsberg.
Operating with regional roots – the path pursued in sports – is something which we can continue to pursue together with the new main sponsor.
In particular, the fact that a long-term partnership was being sought here is something unbelievably important for us as a club, so we can continue to plan in a solid and local way and to push ahead with further positive sporting developments.
HC Landsberg is looking forwards to a long-term and sustainable partnership with the renowned 3C-Carbon AG company, so that we can continue to build on recent years of successful work together.

HOREX is honouring this exceptional situation with a second, extravagant special model of its new VR6 motorcycle, the Snowdance #2 / “Fire on Ice”. Even if nobody is thinking of “extinguishing” the excitement, the Snowdance #2 is equipped for all contingencies. In addition to the brilliant HOREX technology, it is, so to speak, the first “fire brigade motorcycle” of the elite manufacturer. Even at the “making of”, the enthusiasm of the makers was again enormous. The young group is passionate not only about HOREX but also other glowing ideas: “Fire on Ice” at Snowdance 4.0!


The spectacular unique specimen is being displayed during the entire festival in the gallery of the foyer of the Landsberg city theatre. The Landsberg-based company is also making a contribution once again at the awards ceremony on the final day (Sunday, 5 February). Just like in the previous year, the “HOREX Award” will be given to the best directing among all festival contributions. The prize is 2000 US dollars, making it one of the highest.


The “HOREX night of the filmmakers” on Friday, 3 February, is new in the Snowdance programme this year and is an expression of the increased commitment. Here in the hall of the Landsberg city theatre, festival co-organiser Tom Bohn will first of all introduce the directors and filmmakers who were involved in the 25 competition contributions on the official shortlist. After the talks, the “HOREX ball of the filmmakers” will be held in the upscale ambience of the theatre foyer.

The starting shot has already been fired and construction is in full swing on Marie-Curie-Strasse, in the immediate vicinity of the popular outlet centre “Ingolstadt Village” in the east of the city. Even the defusing of an aircraft bomb from WWII near the company premises did not cause any changes to the timetable. In addition, the search for employees is progressing at full speed, as the plan is to open in the spring of 2017.

A spectacular array awaits customers, interested persons and visitors, covering not only the complete model range of the cult American brand. Anyone who goes to Harley Davidson in Ingolstadt can experience the entire bandwidth of this special world. Across more than 2,500 square metres, in addition to the large showroom, the next few months will see the creation of a boutique for numerous matching textiles and accessories, a Harley cafe, an extensive department for accessories, merchandising articles, care products and much more.

“It’s no coincidence that Harley Davidson has experienced a major boom in the last few years,” according to Managing Director Karsten Jerschke. “Like almost no other brand, the company is not only defined by its products but also stands for a compete attitude to life with them.” 3C-American Motorcycles GmbH now makes it possible to experience this in Ingolstadt, covering a blank spot that has been on the “Harley map” so far. The 3C Group is thereby adding another attractive branch to its business activities.

3C-Carbon Group AG has been a sponsor right from the start. Since the founding of the social institution in 2006, the company has supported the multi-generation house in Landsberg with financial donations. This year, there was once again a cheque for 15,000 euros that Karsten Jerschke symbolically signed and presented. This is money that is given gladly and invested sensibly, as he emphasises. “They are doing a brilliant job in the multi-generation house. Our contribution is going to the right place,” said Jerschke when presenting the cheque.

About the multi-generation house

The multi-generation house in Landsberg, which is supported by the Arbeiter-Wohlfahrt (AWO) social welfare organisation, provides more than 30 projects for citizens of all ages under one roof. The house’s broad scope includes the following: senior citizens assist with the reading of primary school children as reading mentors, and there are also homework supervision, language mentors, a babysitting placement service, a multi-generation choir, support for senior citizens from IKG secondary school students and much more. In addition to full-time management by Margit Däubler and Anke Wilk, it is mainly the commitment of around 150 voluntary workers as well as donations and subsidies that are the basis for the generation-connecting social work. “We want to give people meaningful tasks that promote the integration of all fringe groups and increase understanding and solidarity generally,” said Ms Däubler.

Current topic: press rides

The press visited the INTERMOT starting on Tuesday, and of course a number of editors and media representatives also visited the HOREX stand. The highlight was definitely the inspiring press conference held for the world première of the new HOREX VR6 HL models. One of the frequently asked questions was when the first test rides would take place. Our answer: in the next two or three weeks, the first intensive test rides will start taking place with representatives from various specialist journals.

Road show in the spring

It is well known that the series production of our VR6 models has begun, and not only the professional journalists want a test ride. Many motorcycle enthusiasts do as well. For everybody who has ever wanted to ride a HOREX themselves, there will be a special opportunity to “experience” the HOREX fascination in the spring of 2017. During an exclusive road show at several unusual locations in Germany, we will not only be showing the current models but also giving people the chance to take a test ride and much more. Information about the exact locations and times will be published on our website and in this newsletter in good time.
