Jürgen Fitschen will be taking on the role of Chairman of Vonovia SE Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board agreed unanimously to recommend JxFCrgen Fitschen as a new member of the Supervisory Board at the next scheduled Annual General Meeting on May 9, 2018. The Supervisory Board will appoint Fitschen as Chairman of the Board immediately thereafter. Fitschen will thus succeed Prof. Edgar Ernst, who had taken over the Chair from Dr. Wulf H. Bernotat in September 2017 until this year's Annual General Meeting. Dr. Bernotat passed away shortly after stepping down as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
