After the resignation announcement, it took less than half an hour, as were Hartmut Mehdorn plenty of warm words given. The announced departure of yet-airport chiefs of Berlin was “respectable,” said example, Berlin’s mayor Michael Müller (SPD).
He thanked Mehdorn for ” reorganized the difficult situation and to have given a clear direction to the BER project “. What is equally goodbye says, if you do not quite sincerely says.
And then said Berlin’s Governing Render, Mehdorn offer until June 30, continue in 2015, would open “the prospect of orderly transition towards a successor.” That would be the first time that in this billion project would something “ordered” run.
Currently, in any case, there is total disorder. Once again. The disposal of Hartmut Mehdorn himself came for the shareholders, the states of Berlin and Brandenburg and the federal government, as a complete surprise.
“We had him but on Friday the Trust pronounced strengthened him back. And now, “it says in the vicinity of the shareholders. Yet on Friday the airport boss had sat together with the Supervisory Board and then – even the surprisingly – called a schedule for the opening of the capital airport. Now in the second half of 2017, he is to be opened, Mehdorn announced.
Mehdorn complains speculation about his person
According to the presented schedule all necessary plans for the renovation in the terminal should be available mid-2015. Between March and June 2016, the airport will then be fully constructed.
Just over a year later could then lift off the first machine from there. With some six years late. But at least Mehdorn had his plans for the full backing of the Supervisory Board.
All good so, the Friday night seemed outwardly. However, at this time of the break between Mehdorn and the three partners was probably already irreparably. And Hartmut Mehdorn possibly had already decided that cede
Want to call a schedule time for a follow-up search can -. And away. Did Mehdorn the fact to have been given the green light for his plans to use for an exit with saving face?
is cleared Clearly after all, the reason of leaving, but provided Hartmut Mehdorn himself. He had “speculation about myself in the Supervisory environment” must take note “exceeded the acceptable for me measure the” reigning Airport CEO said in a statement.
billion grave BER
He regretted his resignation because neither this nor his sense of duty corresponds to its goals. “The move has become for me but necessary in consideration of the overall situation.”
Then Mehdorn turned his phone off , The press office of the airport company ducked with the phrase “No comment” away, and the shareholders said officially until meaningless Thanks addresses only times nothing. What’s next, who will succeed, remained only times unclear.
Now, the billion grave BER airport boss on demand and currently not even a chairman, because the post is vacant. On the processes addressed, said Federal Minister Sigmar Gabriel (SPD) in Berlin, the resignation announcement Mehdorn had surprised him: “But can the Berlin airport actually nothing more surprise.”
Mehdorn felt to be strongly controlled
So completely without warning comes Mehdorn finish in uneasy but not. In recent weeks, the airport manager and the shareholders were together rattled violently. The reason was a letter Mehdorn, he had written the day before Nicholas, among other things, the Federal Ministry of Transport.
where the airport manager complained that the shareholders by external controllers “to perform in our house an inquisition of 2013 and 2014,” wanted. “The whole thing fits the experienced and moaning about culture of mistrust around the BER” Mehdorn wrote in his Wutbrief.
Previously, he had compared to the time still in office located in Berlin’s Governing Mayor Klaus Wowereit and chairman of the board (SPD) complained about the forthcoming examination of documents. Eleven business consultants were planning to take in the airport company all the key documents of past years under the microscope.
“But the process surpasses anything you can imagine “Mehdorn wrote. He had instructed that before a formal supervisory board resolution “no documentation may be issued by our company.”
Mehdorn felt controlled. And the states of Berlin, Brandenburg and the federal government were thoroughly annoyed by the Wutbriefe Mehdorn.
As the successor to Michael Garvens is traded
In Berlin and Brandenburg the chagrin went so far that you wanted to meet with potential successors. The confidential interviews were punched out and canceled, but supposedly the sensor had the shareholders already stretched by the head of the Cologne / Bonn, Michael Garvens, and Munich Airport Manager Thomas Weyer.
The 56-year-old Garvensburg was traded to favorites. The names were never confirmed. But Mehdorn was warned. And the fact that allegedly behind his back already a successor was traded apparently had driven him to a voluntary departure.
As Bahn CEO he had to go, Air Berlin he saw himself forced to resign. This time, when he probably last top jobs, wanted the 72-year-old self-determine the end.
“If he had kept his schedule, and that we had in the seen spring yes, there would have been no reason not to renew the contract of Hartmut Mehdorn again. But he has shot himself off, “said a representative of the interests of the” world “. Mehdorn had been committed in March 2013 for three years. His contract would be expired in March 2016.
Mehdorn was always a crisis manager
The major airport is since 2006 built. Since the first planned for June 2012 opening of the opening of the airport has been postponed several times due to massive planning and construction defects. Above all, the fire protection system of the terminal had failed to regulatory requirements.
Mehdorn was always a crisis manager that was so, when he at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen and Deutsche Bahn hired and should bring both companies to go public. What did not work only in the case of the web, because politics got cold feet and the financial crisis overshadowed the IPO.
The web Mehdorn had at least trimmed to yield, however, paid a high price. The state enterprise was pressed by Mehdorn finish, highly strained relations with employees because of the data affair and politics because of the often gruff way. Rüdiger Grube was appointed primarily to the DB-tip to heal wounds.
At Air Berlin Mehdorn was also recorded partial success. The heavily damaged airline would not have been able to survive without the proceedings of Mehdorn home of Etihad Airways and was probably long since decomposed.
Mehdorn rumble was not good for politicians to
But here Mehdorn could not witness the resounding success – because all of a sudden he resigned before the end of the rehabilitation phase. The hardest nut in Mehdorn’s career was then its time being last stop. BER
There quieter sounds would probably causes more about politics than the typical mehdornsche Rumble , But the manager could not get out of his skin.
“He has brought peace to the store to set the right people, created a real planning troops and made a schedule . He has given the entire project thrust again, “says an insider. And last Mehdorn was even so bold to call a schedule for the opening of the BER. June-September 2017
Since it is not already on board , Because, as the title of one of his biographies reads, “Never diplomat” wanted. “He may have also noticed that he still can not lift the project,” said a representative of the shareholders.
