Dynamo Dresden Cancels Members’ Assembly After Medical Emergency

Halting votes for the presidium and Ehrenrat, the decision leaves court-overturned disciplinary rulings plus appeals unresolved.

Overview

  • The club called off the Ordinary Members’ Assembly at the BallsportArena after a medical emergency on Saturday, November 14, 2026, and said a new date will be set under the club’s rules.
  • The meeting had been due to elect a three-member presidium and a five-member Ehrenrat with six and seven candidates contesting those posts respectively.
  • The Ehrenrat led by Andreas Göckeritz has faced heavy criticism for recent disciplinary rulings, including the exclusion of Aufsichtsrat member Thomas Blümel that a Dresden court temporarily suspended.
  • Dynamo currently has three ongoing legal disputes — the club’s suit involving ex-president Holger Scholze, a severance fight with former CEO David Fischer, and the club’s appeal at the Oberlandesgericht over the Blümel decision — all of which could be affected by the assembly’s delay.
  • High-profile membership moves were already in flux before the cancellation: Heiko Scholz asked to withdraw a proposal to make him an honorary member and other motions were pulled, underscoring how the meeting was set to shape both governance and the club’s public image.
