Overview

• The Landgericht Berlin issued a Vorbehaltsurteil in the document-only proceeding, granting Fredi Bobic €3,353,642.86 gross, with interest and costs likely pushing the total above €4 million.
• The award comprises roughly €594,000 for salary from February to April 2023 plus a contractual severance of €2.76 million, and the court rejected Hertha’s bid to reduce the payout based on relegation.
• With the provisional enforcement title, Bobic can initiate collection; to avert immediate seizure, Hertha must deposit 110% of the owed amount at court.
• Judges found no sufficient grounds for an extraordinary termination and did not accept allegations that Bobic leaked investor information, destroyed documents, or otherwise committed conduct voiding his claims.
• The dispute has been delayed by recusal motions and a rejected May 2025 settlement proposal of €3.2 million, and Hertha can still pursue a Nachverfahren or continue appeals in parallel matters.
