Ulrike Hiller defends herself against allegations: SV Werder Bremen's supervisory board election is coming up!
The next few weeks will be marked by crucial decisions for SV Werder Bremen. A central issue is the election of the new supervisory board, in which some well-known faces will no longer be running. The names Ulrike Hiller and Dirk Wintermann have come into particular focus because the election committee did not nominate them to run again. Loud Dike room Hiller rejected the allegations that she had not contributed enough to the committee work and admitted that she may have been “too forceful and uncomfortable” in her role.
But the critics shouldn't be so quick to make up their minds. Hiller emphasizes that she has successfully pushed forward her main topics and has therefore taken great care of the well-being of the club. The election committee, which has been dealing with potential candidates since the summer of 2024, finally selected people who will be considered the club's new managers. Chairman Manfred Jacobi spoke of an intensive selection process.
The new faces on the supervisory board
The candidates Harm Ohlmeyer, Dr. Florian Weiss, Dr. Julian Deutz, Chadia Freyhat, Torsten Hoppe and Prof. Dr. Christina Reuter nominated.
