"It's the ultimate expression of Bavarian identity. The Free State has a long history and a rich culture. Our identity means self-confidence, responsibility, overcoming difficulties, letting our achievements speak for themselves, not complaining but getting things done. In Bavaria, we get things done. That's our mentality. 'Mia san mia' also stands for togetherness, and I have always seen that as a credo in the advisory board as well."
"In the 1980s, my wife, my children and I - head of the State Chancellery at the time - regularly sat in the stands of the Olympic Stadium. At some point, the then president Fritz Scherer approached me and said that if I was at the stadium so often, I could get involved. I'm incredibly proud to have been able to accompany my club in this role for so many decades."
"I still remember the double celebrations in 1969, at Sendlinger Tor in Munich, where I was of course there as a fan. Or the first continental title in 1967 with the European Cup Winners' Cup. It was raining at the stadium in Nuremberg at the time, but I didn't even notice that I was getting wet, I was so happy."
Mia san mia expresses Bavarian identity as self-confidence, responsibility, overcoming difficulties, letting achievements speak, avoiding complaints, and taking action. It signifies togetherness and functions as a guiding credo for advisory work, emphasizing internal, trusting, constructive counsel to executive leadership. Membership of the advisory board began after frequent attendance at the Olympic Stadium in the 1980s and an invitation from president Fritz Scherer. Long-term fandom includes memories of the 1967 European Cup Winners' Cup, the double celebrations in 1969 at Sendlinger Tor, and the emotional Nuremberg match when victory felt like the start of something new.
