Hertha Members to Vote on Hybrid Participation at Saturday Assembly

A three-quarters threshold could recalibrate internal influence by opening remote access to far-flung members.

Overview

  • Members convene at 11:00 in Hall 20 at Messe Berlin, with the meeting held on a Saturday after a club survey sought to ease attendance.
  • The primary motion would allow full hybrid participation with equal speaking, motion, and voting rights for those joining online.
  • A fallback proposal would authorize a members-only livestream without remote voting or speaking rights if the first motion fails.
  • Parts of the active fan scene have campaigned against hybrid access, arguing for in-person community and guarding the sway that strong turnout has provided at past votes.
  • Supporters cite low in-person turnout versus roughly 60,000 members and note precedents at Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund, while CEO Ralf Huschen is slated to present a finance update from the club’s ongoing consolidation course.
