FC Bayern mourns: Farewell to Honorary President Fritz Scherer

München, Deutschland - FC Bayern Munich mourns the loss of his long -time president and honorary president Fritz Scherer, who died in Munich at the age of 85. Scherer, who has been a member of the club since July 1971, played a crucial role in the history of the German record champion. From 1985 to 1994 he conducted the club's fortunes as President and was an important companion for legends like Franz Beckenbauer. "Fritz Scherer was an architect of today's FC Bayern and our club would not have reached the level that he stands today," emphasized the incumbent President Herbert Hainer in an official statement.

Uli Hoeneß remembered the common beginnings with Scherer in 1979 and noticed the dramatic change of the association, which at that time had a turnover of only twelve million marks, while it was now around 950 million euros. Scherer's worthings were unanimous: "He always had an open ear for everyone and was a tireless supporter of the club," added Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Scherer leaves his wife Claudia, his daughter Katja and his grandchildren Lena and Emily. A report by Yahoo Sports complements the tribute .

The loss messages and the memories of Fritz Scherer testify to the deep connection and respect that he enjoys among the members, players and fans of FC Bayern. His heir will remain part of the club's history forever.
