Michael Mronz (born March 1, 1967 in Cologne) is a German sports and events manager.
Michael Mronz grew up in Cologne Junkersdorf as the youngest son of the gallerist Ute Mronz and of the architect Johannes Mronz. He was already very interested in sport at an early age. His brother is the former tennis professional, Alexander Mronz. Michael Mronz already began to organise tennis tournaments while studying Economics in Gottingen.
