Overview

• Richard Golz withdrew his bid for HSV vice-president on June 10, calling the advisory board’s decision on Felix Magath “intransparent” and the duo’s proposed direction unworkable.
• The club’s advisory board rejected Magath’s presidential candidacy in May, prompting appeals to the HSV Ehrenrat over procedural fairness.
• Three contenders remain for the presidency: former CEO Kai Esselsgroth, finance expert Henrik Köncke and board member Frank Ockens.
• Laura Ludwig and Anna Stöcken will compete for vice-president, while Ralph Hartmann and Michael Papenfuß vie for the treasurer role.
• The June 21 member assembly will proceed with the current line-up as the Ehrenrat reviews Magath’s appeal, which could yet reshape the candidate list.
