Kim Marschner is a German sports climber (mainly in the bouldering area) and a former competitive climber who participated in the regular Ninja Warrior Germany Seasons 3-5, Team Ninja Warrior Germany 1 and Ninja Warrior Germany All-Stars. In the overall history of Ninja Warrior Germany, Kim Marschner has had a rather short career, in which he however performed so well and skillful that he was considered as quite possibly the "Number 2" of the show, only behind Alexander Wurm. And even though he only competed in five different competitions of the show, he is to be considered as one of the most sucessful competitors in the shows history, as he reached the final obstacle of the Third Stage (the Flying Bar) and finished in 2nd place in the regular Ninja Warrior Germany Seasons 3 and 5 (the latter season was his, so far, last time that he has participated in a regular season of Ninja Warrior Germany). Apart from that, he managed to achieve an even greater triumph, and won Ninja Warrior Germany All-Stars. There, he was the clear star of the show, as he was the sole conqueror of the Super Salmon Ladder (Endlose Himmelsleiter), and the winner against the Ninja-Veteran Sladjan Djulabic in the final duel of the season.

Ninja Warrior Germany 3[]
In 2018, Kim Marschner participated in the third season of Ninja Warrior Germany as one of the many newcomers of that season. He first participated in the second Preliminary Round and cleared the course with a time of 02:33.57, finishing eleventh in his Preliminary Round. He then participated in the second Semi-finals Qualification. There, Kim Marschner quickly cleared the course with a time of 01:12.43, finishing first in his Semi-finals Qualification. In the Semi-finals of the season, Kim Marschner became one of 14 competitors to complete the Semi-finals course, doing so with a time of 05:54.14, which was the slowest out of all the clear times, finishing fourteenth in the Semi-finals of the season. On the First Stage of the Finals of the third season, with him now being considered as one of the competitors to watch out for, Marschner advanced at an rather cautious pace throughout the entire course, but still managed to clear the First Stage of the Finals for the on his newcomer performance, doing so with 00:11.66 seconds remaining on the clock. On the Second Stage of the Finals, Kim Marschner was the first to attempt the Stage, due to him having the worst clear time of the First Stage, and advanced at an very efficient pace throughout the entire course, reaching the finish button with about 12 seconds remaining on the clock, but waited about 6 seconds before actually hitting the finish button to have an extended rest before attempting the Third Stage, continuing his impressive newcomer season and advancing to the Third Stage. There, Kim Marschner cleared the first two obstacles the Curved Body Prop (Spannungsbogen) and the Floating Boards (Schwebende Tรผren) with little trouble and then took on the obstacle, on which the previous season ended, the Cliffhanger (Die Fingerleisten 2.0). And unlike Renรฉ Casselly and Moritz Hans, who both of which failed the obstacle, Kim Marschner amazingly managed to clear the Cliffhanger, becoming the first ever competitor, to do so in Ninja Warrior Germany, continuing his success. After that, Marschner took on the final obstacle of the stage, and also the second to last obstacle of the entire course, the Flying Bar (Stangenflug). But despite all the hopes, Kim Marschner unfortunately failed the Flying Bar, with him disloging the bar from the third cradle, after he landed on it, ending his astonishing newcomer season, but also granting him an amazing 2nd place finish overall, with him only being beaten by Alexander Wurm.
Absence (Ninja Warrior Germany 6~)[]
On August 7th, 2022, Kim Marschner annoucned on his Instagram account that he would not participate in the seventh season of Ninja Warrior Germany, due to the fact that serveral injuries that he sustained across the past two years, including a shoulder injury and a finger injury, had prevented him from participating in climbing competitions as often as he used to, and he therefore wanted to focus more on his career as a sports climber (which is a career that Kim Marschner prefers over his Ninja career), which was the main reason as to why Kim Marschner also did not participate in Ninja Warrior Germany 6 and Ninja Warrior Germany All-Stars 2. At the end of said post, Kim Marscher also said that as long as he remains injury free, he would like to participate in Ninja Warrior Germany 8. However, he did not participate in Ninja Warrior Germany 8 due to (so far) unknown reasons. Since then, no information or announcements regarding the show have been made by Marschnner, which (as of now) makes a potential return to the show uncertain.
