Munich (dpa) - The around 220 delegates from the regional clubs will elect a new ADAC president at the club's online general meeting on Saturday (from 1 p.m.).
After seven years in office, August Markl is no longer running.
After uncovering the manipulation of the “Gelber Engel” car award in 2014, he was elected to the top and fundamentally reorganized the club.
The only applicant for the successor to the 72-year-old is the lawyer Christian Reinicke from Hanover.
Reinicke has been an ADAC general syndicate since 2016 and has driven the reforms together with Markl.
Under Markl, the ADAC was split into three pillars: the association with breakdown assistance, which has now grown to more than 21 million members, the ADAC SE stock corporation with the insurance business and the ADAC Foundation, which takes care of air rescue and accident prevention. The tasks of the honorary functionaries and salaried managing directors have been divided more clearly, and the number of offices has been cut. Instead of being a driver's lobby, the ADAC sees itself today as a mobility service provider for everyone.
In addition to the president, the delegates of the 18 ADAC regional clubs also elect three other members of the executive committee.
Here, too, there is only one candidate: The judge and Formula 1 race commissioner Gerd Ennser from Freyung in Lower Bavaria is running for the post of sports president.
The entrepreneur Karlheinz Jungbeck from the Upper Bavarian town of Schliersee is applying for the position of tourism president.
Technology President Karsten Schulze from Berlin is standing for re-election.
