After Lower Saxony Derby: Violence between fans in Adenbüttel escalated!

After yesterday's Lower Saxony derby between Eintracht Braunschweig and Hannover 96, turbulent scenes occurred in the Gifhorn district in and in front of an inn in Adenbüttel. About 150 Braunschweig fans had gathered there to watch the game live on TV when the argument began shortly after the final whistle.

Already in the first half, the tension between the fan groups was clearly noticeable, and the police were prepared for possible conflicts. But when about 50 Hannover 56 fans entered the restaurant via a side entrance, the situation quickly escalated. The confrontation quickly shifted to the street, where there were violent clashes. The police, which was previously used at the stadium, previously 13 kilometers away, had to intervene immediately.

Police Action and Investigation

"Immediately after the game, there was a confrontation in a restaurant in Adenbüttel. There, 150 people from the violent fan scene of Eintracht Braunschweig had followed the derby. About 50 violent fans of Hannover 96 entered the restaurant over the side entrance," said a spokesman for the Braunschweig police. The officials reported massive assault and property damage during the riots. Up to this point, some witnesses have already been interviewed, and suspects could also be identified. The investigation continues.

The derby had already been shaped in the run -up to tensions. The active fan scene of Hannover 96 had decided to protect the encounter in the stadium in order to protest against a reduced guest present. As a result, the guest block was not sold out, which additionally fueled the already tense minds. Even in the south curve, which is traditionally known for their support, there was no organized support for the guest fans.

The events in the inn and the subsequent conflict are not isolated, but reflect a bigger problem within the football, where fan protests and acts of violence can unfortunately be observed again and again. For a detailed view of the case, the reporting at www.faszination-fankurve.de watch.
