  • From 1990-91 champions Hansa Rostock, who went straight into Germany's Bundesliga, to 13th placed Energie Cottbus who are no longer even in the 3. Liga, HITC Sevens takes a look at the 14 teams who competed in the DDR-Oberliga, or NOFV-Oberliga, which was the top flight of East German football, in the league's final season prior to German reunification.

    The reason BFC Dynamo was that successful is because they were massivly supported by the StaSi.
    Erich Mielke the infamous head of the StaSi was a supporter of the club. Often the best players of other clubs were forced to play for them and when that didnt help sometimes referees would activly favor Dynamo in fear of StaSi-repressions

    Small correction: The "er" bit in "Chemnitzer FC" merely indicates possession. The city is named Chemnitz and the "er" makes it the "football club of Chemnitz". Also, the far-right elements at Hansa Rostock have diminished considerably. A few years back, a leader of the local branch of a German far right party was spotted in the stands and he was, let's say... asked to leave by the supporters.
    I wonder how much of a PITA some of the pronounciations are for a non-native speaker though :D
    Edit: The football history of the city of Leipzig is a huge clusterfuck and might be worth looking at at some point in the future!

    • @christianseiffert6866
      @christianseiffert6866 3 роки тому +2

      Also to mention to the far-right elements at Hansa Rostock changing: they have really some really famous supporters, considered to be more like far-left (e.g. Monchi, lead singer of german punk band FeineSahneFischfilet also as Rapper Materia, who played for the youth teams of Hansa Rostock). Just to bring more (imo) bright moments of eastern germany's fan culture. Also the Carl Zeiss Jena Hooligans are well known to reflect their non-support for neonazi groups in Thüringen.

    The first two out of the three European finals that East German teams played had less than 5,000 spectators in the stadium, mostly due to travel restrictions put upon East Germans by the DDR government. In the last one, in 1987, there were about 35,000 people to watch Ajax beat Lokomotiv Leipzig in Athens, Greece. Among them were about 600-700 East German fans who after thorough screening by the DDR government were allowed to travel. One of them took advantage of the opportunity and fled.

    Thanks for the good video! I'm glad you took a look at East German football, which was once so strong and is often neglected. However, as a Hansa Rostock fan, it bothers me that this club is only reduced to links to neo-Nazis in foreign reports. We certainly had problems here with the large number of Nazis in the 90s, but in the meantime the fan scene has successfully emancipated itself from right-wing influences. Two years ago, right-wing fan clubs left the Rostock fan club community because it had become "too left-wing" for them. Against this background, it is necessary to correct the former perception of this club!

    Some small additions:
    - shout out to Erzgebirge Aue (Wismut Aue) long time DDR-Oberliga team and still going well in 2. Bundesliga!
    - I believe almost nobody really is sad about Dynamo Berlins fall as they were the Stasi team
    - as a Hansa fan, although all true, I believe the right wing politics have since been left behind mostly, Rostock is a beautiful city (oldest university in Northern Europe) with a great coast of the Baltic sea, so I believe we can leave it behind a little bit now

    Thanks for the video!
    Small note: At FC Magdeburg you start with the picture of Jens Härtel. He was Magdeburg trainer from 2014 to 2018, but has been the trainer of Hansa Rostock since 2019. :)

    Really interesting to learn about these lesser known yet still fascinating clubs. Don't know why it took you so long to make it.

    Bro I understand that you’re wary of making these kind of videos as they’re unlikely to get as many views as the more common videos you make.
    But I just want to say I love these! I’d much rather watch a 20 minute video of you explaining the intricacies of the Cambodian football league or some scandal in the German 4th tier than the 150th video on Liverpool

    Great video, huge effort he made over the lost and found teams of GDR football history. Has he mentioned J. Sparwasser?
