Baumjohann himself was delighted to have sealed the transfer. "I'm really looking forward to the challenge at Hertha. I want to play my part so that we - the club, the team and the fans - can achieve our objectives."
Baumjohann previously made 65 Bundesliga appearances for FC Schalke 04, Borussia Mönchengladbach and FC Bayern Munich.
