A familiar and a new face was seen on Monday at noon in the headquarters of the workers ' welfare (Awo) in Ostend to: Steffen Krollmann, bankers, and since the March interim Board of Directors, and Axel Dornis, spent a long time working in the financial industry and, most recently, at the International, Federal as managing Director was. Krollmann is the Chairman of the Board of Awo, Dornis will lead as chief financial officer, the corporate part of the Association.

Petra Rossbrey, Chairman of the Bureau, presented the two Board members as the "best possible choice" to lead the Association in the future, build trust of the employees and the city and the Awo scandal would cutting. At the press conference, it is therefore equal to: questions to Zübeyde Feldmann and the couple Jürgen and Hannelore Richter, the to be known was the scandal in Frankfurt and Wiesbaden in the leadership of the Awo, a patter on the new Board. "I knew what I was letting myself in for," says Dornis after the conference. He was convinced, however, that the Awo is on a good way.

Rossbrey, which is itself only since February, the Chairman of the Bureau, says: "We were a heap in front of a shambles, with a leadership that has made one and all of them, and, in fact, not capable of Association." Also Dornis as a financial expert and Partner with Kroll man to lead together the fortunes of the Awo.

"We are in agreement, where it is

the search for The Executive Board was a little longer than first thought. A search Committee of the Bureau, reviewed 150 applications, with approximately 25 applicants we spoke in person. Kroll man who had already constructed in his interim period, in trust, and the work was going to lead, impressed with his Plan for the future of the Awo, "we agree where to go," says Rossbrey. Transparency, security and clarity, that would be all of the always in the center. So also in dealing with the scandal around the high salaries and special payments to a small group of former Awo Board of Directors. Rossbrey summarizes the status of so: "The damage that the judge have done, we have estimated, wrong decisions, we have turned back."

The damage is estimated at about 4.5 million euros. One of the decisions, the incorrect classification of employees as Zübeyde Feldmann, but also as donations declared payments "to a large extent" to the district Association Wiesbaden, for example. Kroll man says: "The Feldmann case is a Prime example of how the System of judges worked." It had been a normal employment contract, which had then been amended in writing by Hannelore Richter, who had also been a "special representative" for the district Association Frankfurt.

As there have been no control mechanisms, would be the by gone. Why the woman has been determined to the mayor later, can't krollmann say. "Divide and rule, the effect they have on me." It is a System in which sympathies have been bought or Silenced. Why the former nursery school head coaches in their parents time, the service was able to keep, why they had been paid in Wiesbaden, Germany for the construction of a kindergarten – to comment on all the Rossbrey and Kroll man: "ask the judge."
