German Memory Championship 2019

Congratulations to Simon Reinhard on winning the German Memory Championship 2019!

Johannes Mallow and Simon Reinhard

The 21st German Memory Championship – the longest-running national memory championship in the world – took place in the familiar surroundings of the Aesculap Academy in Tuttlingen on July 26 and 27.

It was a mix of old and new this year – for the first time, the competition was digital rather than on paper, and veteran competitors Simon Reinhard and Johannes Mallow fought a close battle with new Italian star Andrea Muzii, with Simon ending up in first place at the end of the two-day international-standard competition.

Results can be found here – Simon’s 26.97 seconds in speed cards and 256 words in 15 minutes; Andrea’s 17 decks and 12 cards in 30 minutes and 1460 digits in the 30-minute numbers; and Johannes’s 4128 binary digits in the same time and 100 historic dates all add up to show a top-class competition!
