"An architect"
FC Bayern mourns: Former president passes away
FC Bayern mourns the loss of its long-serving president and honorary president Fritz Scherer.
As the German record champions announced on Sunday morning, Scherer passed away in Munich at the age of 85. Scherer became a member of Bayern in July 1971 and was active in various club management committees for more than 30 years. He served as president from 1985 to 1994 and was the predecessor of Franz Beckenbauer, who passed away last year.
"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Fritz Scherer. FC Bayern will always hold his memory in the highest esteem. Fritz Scherer was loyally associated with the club for decades, and with him as president, key decisions were made for this club, without which FC Bayern would never be where it is today. Fritz Scherer was an architect of today's FC Bayern. Many thanks for everything," says current President Herbert Hainer.
Uli Hoeneß remembers: "How Fritz Scherer and I started at FC Bayern together in 1979, he as treasurer, I as manager: back then, the club had a turnover of twelve million marks - today it is around 950 million euros". Scherer has "always had an open ear for everyone", "he has always done FC Bayern good with his calmness, objectivity and professional competence. With him as president, our club entered new spheres, and he always remained a loyal companion of FC Bayern later on".
"Fritz Scherer loved and lived FC Bayern"
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge began his career as Bayern boss and vice president alongside Scherer in 1994. "Fritz Scherer loved and lived FC Bayern. He was always absolutely loyal to FC Bayern. I was always impressed by his whole manner, his great passion, his calm sovereignty and his strategic foresight. Many FC Bayern milestones are closely linked to the name Fritz Scherer. He deserves the utmost respect," said Rummenigge.
Scherer is survived by his wife Claudia, his daughter Katja and his granddaughters Lena and Emily.
