Germany had 615,759 registered clubs in 2022. For all of them, one sentence in the Civil Code sets the default rule. Zur Gültigkeit des Beschlusses ist erforderlich, dass der Gegenstand bei der Berufung bezeichnet wird. For a resolution to be valid, its subject must be named when the meeting is called. A resolution of the members’ meeting on a subject that was not announced is void. The club’s own statutes may change the rule.
