Christian Kirstges, also known by his nickname Hightower, is a German Regional sales manager and a Professional OCR athlete who participated in every regular Ninja Warrior Germany season, Team Ninja Warrior Germany 1 and Ninja Warrior Germany All-Stars 1. In Ninja Warrior Germany, Christian Kirstges is well-known as one of the six people who have a perfect regular season attendance record (the others are Moritz Hans, Sladjan Djulabic, Marvin Mitterhuber, Daniel Schmidt & Christian Balkheimer), and is therefore one of the most expereienced athletes of the show as well as one of main staples. Even more remarkable, however, is that at 2 meters, Kirstges is the tallest returning athlete on Ninja Warrior Germany, who has demonstrated many times via his skills and his height advantage that he is one of the shows best athletes. And while first few performances were pretty rocky starts (as he never managed to get past the Semi-finals Qualification), his more recent performances are definitely impressive, with his greatest performances occuring in Ninja Warrior Germany 6. There, he not only managed to get all the way to the Third Stage, but he also finished in 5th at the end of the day, with him failing Cliffhanger 3.0 just behind Giovanni Ertl & Philipp Göthert.
Apart from his Ninja Warrior Germany career, Christian Kirstges has also achieved decent success in Ninja Warrior Switzerland 2, with him getting all the way to the second to last obstacle of the Second Stage (the Catch & Release).
