The reigning German European champion quartet of Matthias Laukart, Tobias Müller, Daniel Reichert, and Moritz Rosik will compete this summer in the prestigious Masters de Pétanque. For the first time ever, a German team will take part in the world’s most important pétanque tournament series.
The Key: European Championship Title 2025 in Santa Susanna
In July 2025, the four players made history in Santa Susanna: in the final of the Men’s Triplette European Championship, they convincingly defeated perennial favorites France. Earlier, they had knocked reigning world champions Italy out of the tournament in the round of 16 with a 13–11 victory.
A result that made the European pétanque world take notice — and evidently also impressed the organizers of the Masters.
The Team
Matthias Laukart (Horb) – Tireur. Born in 1991, the shooter has been one of Germany’s most consistent top players for years: European Championship bronze in 2024, World Championship bronze in 2023, and now European Championship gold in 2025.
Tobias Müller (Horb) is an all-rounder who confidently masters every position and recently became German Triplette vice champion.
Daniel Reichert (Horb) brings many years of national team experience and is regarded as the team’s versatile “joker.”
Moritz Rosik (Düsseldorf) is the most experienced member: World Championship bronze in 2017 and 2023, crowned with gold in 2025.
