The article examines the careers of the ten chairmen of the Board of Directors (CEOs) of the pioneer enterprise Mannesmann from its founding in 1890 to its takeover and dismantling by Vodafone in 2000. The company, which was originally founded to use a revolutionary invention for the production of seamless steel tubes from a solid block of steel alone by rolling, developed into an integrated vertical organized mining group of Ruhr-typical character due to reasons of market organization. As the first mining enterprise it diversified to a technology group after World War II and created a new basis as the first private provider of telecommunications services in the 1990s. Among other things, the chairmen of the Board of Directors (CEOs) were enquired about their regional and family origins, their educational background, their professional training and career, and about their specific reasons for joining Mannesmann. Finally, the article analyses the age at which this occurred, and how the rise to the top of the company took place. Particular attention is paid to their work as executives in a team as the essential basis for success and failure.
