Martin Schindler, after a remarkable year on the European Tour, aims to crown his season with a maiden televised title at the Machineseeker European Championship in Dortmund. As the number one seed and German number one, Schindler returns to the Westfalenhalle with two European Tour titles under his belt in 2024, making history as the first German player to win multiple titles on the circuit. His campaign begins against 2022 semi-finalist Dirk van Duijvenbode, and Schindler feels poised to take on the pressure, fueled by strong home support and the personal growth he’s experienced since becoming a father.

Schindler’s journey reflects a significant turnaround; less than four years ago, he had lost his PDC Tour Card but has since broken ground, potentially nearing the world’s top 20 rankings. He credits his progress to newfound resilience, maturity, and an ability to handle big-stage pressure. Winning the European Championship on home soil would not only be a personal triumph but also a historic achievement, as Schindler would become the first German player to capture a televised PDC ranking title. He remains determined to “never stop believing,” viewing this championship as a chance to make lasting history in German darts.
