General meeting in Lübeck – ADAC concludes his trichotomy – Süddeutsche.de

  • Overwhelmingly the general meeting of the ADAC, the splitting of Europe’s largest automobile club decided in three parts in order to continue to separate the team work and economic activities clearly.
  • The trichotomy to the ADAC the status ” club “ensure that is provided by the registry court in Munich in question.
  • It is an important decision that the largest with 19.2 million members German club has taken in its 113-year history.

Actually, should meet the ADAC general meeting in Lübeck Congress Centre but there broke the roof and as long as the damage is not repaired, the hall will be closed. So the largest with 19.2 million members German club evaded its 113-year history in the ballroom of a neighboring hotel for one of the most important decisions. The process lacked not certain symbolism, because the ADAC is a construction site. But at least there is for the conversion now a concrete plan.

With an overwhelming majority, the general meeting resolved the splitting of Europe’s largest automobile club in three parts. Club activities and economic activities will be clearly separated. The third pillar takes a charitable foundation, inter alia, air rescue and non-profit research. For this President Markl months promoted model voted 188 delegates, 33 were against, eleven abstained.



months Langer concerning the reform

The clear vote is amazing, went to him but for months, massive controversy ahead. Until recently fought critics to Markls predecessor Peter Meyer violently against the now adopted trichotomy. This is so the ADAC save the state as a “club”, which is called into question in view of the confusing mixture of club work and profit-oriented businesses by the Register Court in Munich. In recent days, the dispute escalated; both Markl and the Bureau, and Meyer as Chairman of the largest regional clubs Nordrhein-positioned with numerous legal reports. Markl emphasized that he had “no plan B” should fail, the tripartite division. Meyer and his followers again they rejected unnecessarily from as for the preservation of the association status. In addition, hundreds of millions of Euro club asset control was deprived by the members.

None of this could be heard more in the general meeting. In the end Peter Meyer remained only the retreat. When ever single word message in the debate on the reform, he announced to accept any decision of the general meeting of Lübeck and not to complain about it. In recent days, there had been speculation that the regional club could pull in the event of electoral defeat in court. Before the delegates to Peter Meyer was sheepishly. He and his regional club it did not involve a fundamental rejection of splitting, but only “to the method of implementation”.

The decision is a clear victory for Meyers successor August Markl. Before the vote, he spoke to 221 delegates to the conscience and campaigned partly emotionally for its reform. “Essentially, it is a simple question,” he said, “namely whether Germany’s biggest club has a future.” Without this reform was “concrete risk”. The’ve operators to warn the Munich Registration Court. It checks for an anonymous report through since the end of 2014 whether the ADAC still may rightly call “association”. Decide wants the court only after it is clear whether the ADAC reformed and how strongly. Markl spoke of a “significant risk”, the ADAC “actively confront” must. “If we do not decide themselves about our future, others do,” Markl said.

The AGM began tough morning. A witty and eloquent Greeting of Lübeck mayor, a speech by EU digitization Commissioner Günther Oettinger, who demanded “twelve-lane digital highways” and the ADAC advised, “to accept prefer potholes as dead spots”. After the usual formalities and the reports of the individual board members about their areas of expertise. But whether the issue just tourism, motor sports, technology or finance was – no presidential decrees, the not anmahnte change. The clock was from the outset president August Markl before. Finally, the ADAC wanted after all his affairs and murky transactions that become again what it was before the crisis: “The most trustworthy organization.”





auto Club As the ADAC is trying to save itself

The auto Club will remain a membership organization by all means. President Markl had actually a plan – but the will thwart its predecessor now.
