Board of Taxi München eG back in office
The Munich District Court I has declared the provisional removal of Patrick Nothhaft, CEO of Taxi München eG, to be void. Nothhaft can thus resume his duties. The decision sheds light on the deep divisions within the cooperative that have emerged in recent months.
How do the members handle Uber & Co.?
At the center of the conflict is the collaboration of some supervisory board members with ride-hailing companies like Uber and Bolt. Nothhaft and his board colleague Thomas Kroker sharply criticized these collaborations and saw them as a conflict of interest that was incompatible with the cooperative's goals. In response, the supervisory board provisionally removed Nothhaft on April 2, 2025, without citing specific reasons.
The situation escalated further when the board called an extraordinary general meeting for May 15th. The aim was to vote on the dismissal of the entire supervisory board. The supervisory board attempted to prevent this meeting and criticized the high costs as well as the burden on the members.
Several Resignations
The tensions within the cooperative led to several resignations in the supervisory board. By early May, three members had already resigned, including Andreas Mekidiche, who cited the ongoing disputes as the reason for his resignation.
The disputes reflect the challenges faced by the taxi industry in Munich. While platforms like Uber expand their presence and introduce flexible fixed prices, traditional taxi companies feel pressured. Taxi München eG had already responded in 2023 by demoting taxis with Uber advertising in their radio dispatch.
The district court's decision now brings a legal clarification to the internal power struggle. However, whether this will lead to long-term pacification within the cooperative remains to be seen. The coming weeks are likely to be decisive for the future of Taxi München eG.
