Tragic

Walther Seinsch: In early 2010, Walther Seinsch publicly disclosed that he was suffering from depression and would be taking a health-related leave of absence. On July 18, 2011, he announced that despite his fragile health, he wished to continue as chairman of FC Augsburg. On December 3, 2014, Seinsch resigned with immediate effect at the club's annual general meeting for health reasons.

Helmut Haller: Sometime between the ages of 60 and 70, Helmut Haller developed dementia. By 72, the disease had progressed so far that the city's greatest son — after Jakob Fugger, Bertolt Brecht and Ernst Lehner — could rarely recall his great footballing triumphs or teammates. Haller became dependent on care and died on October 11, 2012, aged just 73. Over 1,000 mourners attended his funeral at Augsburg's Nordfriedhof cemetery, among them numerous internationals and companions from Germany and Italy who wished to pay their final respects.
