Say Goodbye to the Wernze Family's Stake in Lok Leipzig's Regional League Team
Investor Family Transfers Shares to Make Lok the Single Owner in Company - Family investor transfers full ownership of Lok to a single shareholder
Yo, it's a big change up for ol' 1. FC Lok Leipzig, a faverite team in the Football Regional League. The Wernze clan, who've been steady supporters, have flipped the script by letting go of the shares they had left in the club. That dude Franz-Josef Wernze, who would've been 77, worked hard to help the team out with actions and cash flow. Now that the Wernzes have passed on the torch, the "1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig, Association for Sports Games e.V." is the lone wolf controlling the GmbH, as the Leipzig team announced.
Wernze managed to bag himself an honorary membership in 2020, thanks to the love he's shown to Lok. He even helped fix up a joint on the training grounds, which the club's board thinks is righteous enough to rename the place the "Franz-Josef-Wernze Hall" as a lasting tribute.
The team just missed the boat on promotion to the third league in early June's relegation playoffs. They're gonna give it another shot in the Regionalliga next season.
