Next club is considering expelling Gerhard Schröder

Borussia Dortmund withdraws honorary membership from former Chancellor Schröder

Borussia Dortmund withdraws honorary membership from Gerhard Schröder. Schröder is currently the head of the supervisory board of the Russian oil company Rosneft and has been heavily criticized since the Russian attack on Ukraine.

After Borussia Dortmund revoked his honorary membership, Gerhard Schröder is now threatened with consequences at his second club. Hannover 96 prepares the expulsion of the former chancellor. Martin Kind said he was still welcome as a fan.

Dhe parent club of Hannover 96 is threatening former chancellor Gerhard Schröder with being kicked out because of his ties to Russia. “We will now examine to what extent Mr. Schröder may have violated the interests of the association,” said a senior employee of the Hannoversches Sportverein von 1896. A letter was sent to the former chancellor on Wednesday in which he was asked to comment. First, the “image” reported about it.

96 boss Martin Kind had previously claimed that Schröder was not a member of 96 and bought his tickets as a regular customer. “We are a constitutional state with a democracy and of course we have to observe the legal norms. Mr. Schröder can continue to attend games, we do not forbid him access.”
