VERBRAUCHERSCHUTZFORUM – The Charlottenburg District Court has placed Spark Networks Services GmbH, a Berlin-based online dating and matchmaking provider, under preliminary insolvency administration after the company applied for insolvency due to financial difficulties. As of 16 January 2026, enforcement actions by creditors have been halted, and the company may only make dispositions with the approval of a court-appointed administrator. Dr. Philipp Hackländer has been appointed to oversee management, secure the company’s assets, and assess whether sufficient funds exist to proceed with formal insolvency proceedings. The decision marks an interim phase in which it will be determined whether the business can be restructured, continued, or must enter full insolvency.
