Overview
- The presidium has filed a motion for the 7 November DFB Bundestag to alter how presidium remuneration is set.
- Under the proposal, the DFB Compliance Officer would determine the days‑per‑week time value used in pay calculations, with the remuneration committee retaining final approval according to the federation.
- An independent remuneration committee created in 2020, featuring Thomas Pröckl and Heribert Bruchhagen, has until now scrutinised claimed time commitments and is expected to see its role reduced.
- Since 2022 pay has combined a base linked to Bundestag deputies’ salaries with a time value, yielding roughly €62,000 at 1.5 days per week, about €125,000 at three days, and around €250,000 for president Bernd Neuendorf including a liability supplement.
- Former president Fritz Keller calls the move a loss of trust and questions self‑supervision, while editorials warn the timing invites criticism given ongoing legal and financial scrutiny of the association.
