About Michael Möllenbeck

Lived 1969 – 2022 (aged 52). Michael Möllenbeck was a German athletics competitor.

Michael Friedrich Möllenbeck (12 December 1969 – 2 November 2022) was a German discus thrower.

Möllenbeck's greatest achievements were two World Championship bronze medals, and his bronze at the 2005 World Championships was especially welcome as Germany struggled to win medals.
