Wilde Jahre in Westend · Der Abstieg von Hertha BSC Synopsis

Investor Lars Windhorst surprisingly invested in Hertha BSC in 2019, giving the club great ambitions and financial resources. However, the dream turned into a nightmare for the fans: a change of coach, a lack of strategy and a dispute with the investor led to a crisis. The documentary shows the most difficult years in the club's 130-year history and gives the fans a voice. Embarrassments such as the departure of Jürgen Klinsmann, the coronavirus affair involving Salomon Kalou and the espionage scandal surrounding Windhorst and President Gegenbauer followed. The era of manager Michael Preetz ended, but the problems worsened under Fredi Bobic. The change of president with Kay Bernstein brought fans and club closer together, but the sporting decline ultimately led to relegation. The fallen Big City club now faces an uncertain future.

Wilde Jahre in Westend · Der Abstieg von Hertha BSC (2023) is a documentary film directed by Christian Dexne, released on May 21, 2023. It stars Kay Bernstein, Michael Preetz and Lars Windhorst.
