Overview
- Proceedings began at 10:00 in Dresden’s Congress Centrum with roughly 700 voting members, and members unanimously named club great Ralf Minge an honorary captain.
- Under club rules, members must first vote on discharging the current supervisory board; a failed discharge would block elections and leave the club without a controlling body.
- Eleven candidates are standing for nine seats, with several incumbents seeking re‑election and new nominees including Michael Born and Dr. Ines Kilian.
- The board’s conduct is under fire after months of executive turbulence, including the departures of Ralf Becker and Thomas Brendel and an interim move installing Dr. Jürg Kasper to meet the two‑director requirement.
- Key staffing and financial decisions await the next oversight body, as David Fischer and Brendel are still on the payroll until June 30, 2026.
