anyone Who goes to professional soccer in Germany, and his view through the arenas to wander, see a landscape of posters, flags, Transparent. It is the kind of curves that Express themselves, to speak. However, by far not all of it is friendly and for the encouragement of thought, often of Protest, sometimes he is offensive, hurtful. What is allowed in our stadiums? And like forbidden comes in?
a week Ago, Borussia Dortmund lost the Ruhr Derby against Schalke. However, the result (2:4), and the two Red cards for the Black-and-Yellow and a hand penalty against them were not the most emotional topic being discussed. But: a poster that was seen in the black curve. “Still a bomb in the idea of freedom for Sergei W.,” it read. The connection was immediately clear: Sergei W. of convicted criminals who had tried to 2017, to blow up the whole team of Borussia Dortmund in their Bus in the air.
dismay about this tastelessness even for FC Schalke 04. The Board apologized to the management of Borussia Dortmund and made it clear to the Fans: “We expect that such unworthy verbally remain attacks in the future.” It was a repeat offence: during the first leg in Gelsenkirchen, the Transparent – and-white capital letters was been shown to be about a one Meter large dark sheet.
a Clear case of a violation of the decorum and the rules in force. Freedom of speech has its limits, if you glorify violence, and people being discriminated against. So it is in the stadium regulations, the German football League (DFL), often accompanied by the words, that a Statement must not necessarily be a criminal offence, in order to be considered offensive rating. The aim of the Clubs anyway, is it, in your stages of a Mix to allow: criticism, Yes, insulting no.
is handled in practice? We have asked all 18 Bundesliga insights, the majority of you has that part in detail.
There is a bracket for dealing with everything that Fans try to get banners into the stadium. The Clubs want to be informed and can decide whether to allow the particular visual Statements and you agree To prevent, it is not that the rejected and undue Transparent find the way to the bleachers. “Controls are not always successful,” said Bayer 04 Leverkusen, “but a wholly-owned ,Sicherheit_ there is.” Thorsten Meier, Stadium Manager at Hannover 96, says: “The reality is that posters with problematic content are not logged in, or submitted to, but without the knowledge of the Association in other Ways to the stadium.”
Borussia Dortmund has made the experience, that five percent of the posters would not be likely to purely and to reject. However, “you are not logged in to the rule, but it is trying to smuggle this into the stadium’.” The BVB is in this case a burned child. The DFB sports court froze the game, the South stand for a League, having played in February 2017 at the home match against the Red-Bull-Club Leipzig Transparent, such as “paving stones on the cops” and “cops battles” held high.
How the posters were coming? Fans exchange in Internet forums about the Tricks. “The smuggling is reminiscent of old prison movies”, summed up the daily newspaper “The world” contributions. “Shoes, socks and underwear in particular, are used as a hiding place. The small parts are then put together in the stadium, a very difficult way to go.“ Popular for the Transport of larger parts: the Crowding at the Einlasstor – creates pressure on the folder. You by hits more times in an uncontrolled manner.
FC Bayern has set for the registration of choreographies and posters for a period of one week. Dortmund tried to be more spontaneous. “If the round more banners, or posters arrive at the entrance, this can also be approved in the short term.” Hannover 96 would like to know until the day before the game. The Banner must be logged in”, but not submitted”.
Also, what should show up in the guest block, it must be made transparent. Responsible for the SLOs of the host club. Each Club must have occupied this Position with two full-time employees.
especially in the case of expansive choreography, it’s also about Material. “It must be ensured that the materials used are certified in security,” from Mainz 05, “for example, certain fire protection standards”. In Wolfsburg, the “fire protection class B1”. In the fall, “substances that switch off after a fire safety standard DIN4102-1 after the Removal of the fire source itself”. A blazing Inferno that covered a Block, no one wants to have.
Some clubs do not want to occur to your Annex is too prescriptive. Mainz 05 “aware of the responsibility of the Fans. It is important for us to promote a colorful curve and to strengthen the fan culture.“ The FC Augsburg assured: “For us, the dialogue is particularly important, so that each individually will be evaluated.” The line of the FCA is considered to be liberal. He has been massive attacks against the German football Association (“the captain of The corrupt Crew leaving the sinking ship”), or criticism of the establishment of an E-sports Department.
Werder Bremen, the stadium has its own “material inputs”, has agreed with his fan groups on a “Fan code of ethics”. Hertha BSC followed “the so-called St. Pauli-principle,” says spokesman Marcus Young. “That means, ultimately, that we approve on the basis of trust banners, posters and choreographies, to have previously submitted.”
the sound of The football is rough – much will be tolerated. But not all of it. One that is often met with hostility, Dietmar Hopp, the Software billionaire who has made possible the rise of the TSG Hoffenheim. He had to read and hear that he was the “son of a whore”. And he found his face on a large Banner incorporated into the cross-hairs of a Riflescope. Hopp has begun to face criminal charges, the first trial dates. And a judgment against a Cologne (one month salary) due to insult.
most of The attacks are aimed at RB Leipzig, specially on coach Ralf Rangnick, an established stimulus-figure in the German football. In various stages of Burnout-Ralle has been advised of a disease, which had pulled back rank nick for some time (“”). Certainly not a notified and approved of Speech. In Leipzig, the rejection rate for posters is “under one percent”
high-the Fans of Eintracht Frankfurt, the messenger on Thursday for the Europa League in the evening a stunning choreography to be praised at the moment- interspersed, however, with borderline posters like “ACAB” (which stands for the police officers abuse the “All Cops are Bastards”), “honour to the group, a stadium ban” or “Better racing, Gästefan”. A curve is never completely under control.
