The first edition of the Werkself magazine appeared at the start of the 2015/16 season: Chicharito and Mickey Mouse were on the first cover. 23 editions have appeared since then. And the next one is already a work in progress.
We usually make our club come alive in 100 pages – in all its different facets. You can read reports, interviews, news and background information. Insights into all aspects of the Werkself, but also stories about people who work with and around the first team, bring Bayer 04 closer to the reader. On top of that, the Werkself magazine regularly reports on ‘Our fans’, community action, the tradition of the club plus women’s and youth teams under the Bayer Cross. The printed all-round coverage of the Werkself appears six to eight times a year – our Club members are always first to receive the latest edition.
All previous editions are available HERE . The contents page containing all editions is available via the menu at ‘Club Media’ > ‘Werkself Magazin’.
