"It was clear to me from the outset: I won't stop selling at 65."

MediaMarktSaturn is not just any retailer. Our employees are the key success factor on our path to becoming an Experience Champion. Our company is as diverse and multifaceted as our employees, their tasks and their backgrounds. They are our Experience Champions - because they create a unique shopping experience for our customers. They tell their stories here.

Many people dream of retiring at 65 and putting their feet up. Not so Lothar Wittig: the now 75-year-old has been working at MediaMarkt in Eislingen, Swabia, for 24 years. Since then, Lothar has been responsible for both the white and brown goods departments.

I was unemployed in Berlin. Acquaintances told me that there were a lot of people looking for work here. And then it was all decided for me. I went to the job centre here, looked for ads and then went to this market here, applied and was hired.

Silvia Scheibein has been at his side for many years. She has been working at MediaMarkt Eislingen since 2007 and has been Sales Manager there since 2018. Working with Lothar has been an integral part of her everyday working life ever since: "He used to be a department manager, and I used to be a sales assistant. At some point, we swapped roles. And I love working with him because he has simply taught me so much here at the company."
