At the end of the members’ meeting, Peter Lange, Dr. Buchta’s deputy, thanked his colleague for the 15 years he spent on the supervisory board and wished him all the best for the future. Following that, the Schalke fans present applauded the long-term board member.

Before the meeting was officially ended, Buchta offered free beer to all members in attendance at the VELTINS-Arena. All Schalker then sang the club anthem together.
