Schalke Members’ Meeting Runs Smoothly as Turnout Slumps and Brinkert Misses Board Seat

Attendance of about one percent underscores questions about participation in the club’s governance.

Overview

  • WAZ described Saturday’s assembly in Gelsenkirchen as harmonious and fast-paced, a sharp change from last year’s chaotic meeting.
  • Only 2,276 members attended, with 2,235 eligible to vote, which the report notes is roughly one percent of Schalke’s total membership.
  • Prominent supervisory-board candidate Raphael Brinkert failed to secure a seat in the election held at the meeting.
  • Reports from the Vorstand and the Aufsichtsrat were presented, and WAZ summarized decisions including beer pricing and matters involving Elgert and Brinkert.
  • WAZ’s 19:04 – Inside Schalke podcast reviewed the assembly and plans a follow-up episode after the Nov. 22 match at Preußen Münster.
