President Hubertus Hess-Grunewald was confirmed in office at the general meeting of SV Werder Bremen on Sunday.

dr Hubertus Hess-Grunewald is allowed to go into his third term as Werder President; the 62-year-old was re-elected on Sunday. Claudia Lasch was elected Vice-President with a “broad majority”. Axel Plaat was also confirmed in his office as Treasurer.

In the context of the general meeting, a change in the statutes was decided, which states that persons from the executive committee may no longer be active in the management at the same time in the future. Hubertus Hess-Grunewald was President and Managing Director of SV Werder Bremen in one person until the very end. “We have set the course for a successful future for SV Werder Bremen,” said Hess-Grunewald about the change in the statutes. The re-elected Werder President had been campaigning for these reforms for months.
