Philipp Hartwich has officially signed with Basketball Löwen Braunschweig for the 2025-26 season. The 29-year-old German center, standing at 2.18m, joins from ROSTOCK SEAWOLVES, bringing 133 BBL games of experience to bolster the Löwen’s roster following the departures of Sananda Fru and Gavin Schilling, marking a strategic addition to their frontline.
Proven BBL Record and Season Highlights
Hartwich, who has played five BBL seasons with clubs like SYNTAINICS MBC, BG Göttingen, and s.Oliver Würzburg, showcased his skills with Rostock last season. In 31 games, he averaged 16 minutes, with season highs of 10 rebounds against SKYLINERS and 8 points against FC Bayern, demonstrating his rebounding prowess and scoring ability in the competitive league.
Tactical Boost for Braunschweig’s Interior
Löwen managing director Nils Mittmann highlights Hartwich’s size and rebounding quality as key assets to influence games, while his experience will mentor the young squad. His return to Lower Saxony, praised by head coach Kostas Papazoglou, aligns with the club’s vision, positioning him as a cornerstone to strengthen Braunschweig’s interior defense and rebounding game.
