Overview
- Werder’s regional investor group, which increased its holding to 19.39% on Tuesday, paid €4 million and brought in local entrepreneurs Klaus and Marcus Wittrock.
- The club says equity now stands near €19 million, giving some room to act in the next transfer window, though CEO Klaus Filbry still counts on transfer income.
- Under the model, investors hold only two supervisory-board seats and get no control over daily operations and no right to payouts.
- Club rules allow sales up to 24.9% of the professional arm, which preserves majority control, and leaders say more expansion is possible though no talks are active.
- A higher price per share reflects a stronger valuation since the 18% sale in 2024 for €38 million, and prior internal moves included Frank Baumann selling his stake after leaving for Schalke.
