Horst Piepenburg (born 9 March 1954) is a German jurist specialising in bankruptcy law. He is the co-founder of Piepenburg & Gerling, one of the leading bankruptcy law firms in Germany, and has worked more than 1,000 insolvency cases, including Babcock Borsig and PIN Group.[1]

In June 2009, Piepenburg was appointed bankruptcy manager of Arcandor, the "biggest insolvency currently underway in Germany."[2] He resigned from this post in July, citing the "lack of support by Arcandor's large shareholder," private bank Sal. Oppenheim, as the reason for his decision.[3]
