WHY reunification failed football
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лис 2019
- In November 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, football in East Germany didn't look too bad. Dresden had reached the UEFA cup semis a few months before, the national team had just beaten Olympic champions the Soviet Union, and the league was full of promising talents like Kirsten, Rösler and Sammer.
Fast forward to November 2019, and everything has changed. Not a single team from the GDR first division in 1989 is even close to playing in the Bundesliga. Dresden is struggling at the bottom of second division, and record champions Dynamo Berlin are stuck in the fourth tier alongside former European Cup winners Magdeburg. Other clubs were hit even worse.
How did that happen? Why did German reunification fail in football?

Well, RB Leipzig can’t count because the club has been founded after the reunification
Well technically it wasn't even founded like a real club. They bought the license from Markränstadt and turned it into a marketing product.
@@xavermeier8357 Much better than PSG or Man City. I would love if Red Bull created a team in my town, to fill the void of my team that is on a Zombie state, since the start of the TV paywall here on Portugal, only 3 teams are considered, the rest are bankrupt.
I personally like Red Bull investing into football. Spices up the competition. Hopefully they will be able to compete with german top clubs in a couple years

I doubt it, they can easily compete in the fifth division of Bavaria...

It seems that finally this season, after a long time, competition is back in the Bundesliga.

The point you're trying to make around 9:00 is kind of misleading:
In the 2014 world cup team, Kroos was the only one born in East Germany, meaning he is the only east german to win the world cup, ever. There were more people born in Poland in that squad...
And yet he was and is by far the best player.
...and Turkey
@@golDroger88 Our best Player in the 2010 decade was Lahm or Schweinsteiger. They were the Leaders in the 2014 world cup. Definetely not Kroos.

Seems like the East Germans were treated like East Germans instead of getting treated like Germans.
Bingo. At least someone gets it.
They had to be germanized first and remove the unprogressive soviet attitude

Not Germaning, it's Westering.
Pretty normal, you can just fuse two different country like that. Same language, same history, but the culture and the life style aren't the same anymore. Would be the same if South Korea took control of North Korea
@@aroundtheworld2316 That is plain wrong. East Germans never tried to be Russians, but West Germany became more like Americans.
Union Berlin is a former eastern club who now plays in the Bundesliga. They are actually pretty compelling at the moment.
yeah I'm confused to why he didn't name them and used a plastic club like RB Leipzig as a "positive" example instead.
they play horrible football tho.
@@Regisseur95 I'm pretty certain it's because while Union Berlin is in the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig is one of the top teams while Union isn't.
Because Union haven't been playing in the First Division of the GDR in the year of unification.
Union have never been a successful while Dresden, Karl-Marx-Stadt, B*C or even Magdeburg are Former Champions and have had runs in the European Cup Back then.
@Robben Flying Dutchman Well yes in Union"s Case you can. The win in the First Derby in the Bundesliga against Hertha.
As an Englishman I found this fascinating. I always wondered why the bundesliga lacked clubs from the east.
It's not by accident. Communism is felonious idea, even for football. This is what destroyed and kills even now my country, Poland. People have trash in their minds. Polish league football is corrupted. Very hard to watch crap. There is still state financing! Wisła Cracovia one of the most prominent Polish club was controlled by street gangs only year or two ago. Most popular Polish football channel on youtube is commenting in satirical and vulgar way Extraklasa legue. Every new year I wonder "where is the bottom?"
Borne Sulinowo Poland is far from communist moron lol. If anything Poland is right wing.
@@alia7750 I live in Poland and I know what is here, idiot.
@@bornesulinowo391 Seems like you don't. Pretty embarrassing not to know the situation in your own country.
@@MrHoelderlin Pretty embarrassing to take information of Poland from German media. I know "right wing" is a derogatory term in your country because of... you know the best why.
But state ruled economy, protectionism, social benefits, cetralisation, growing taxes, adulation of the poorest and unions, equalization is strictly left wing agenda. Prefering state owned large businesses for their cronies and social justice, too. Populism is on the both sides. Kaczynski is socialdemocrat populist who takes handful from Polish communism era. So he is so popular in major group, elderly social oriented Polish society which grown in dark communism. He gives to his helpless people new cash before each elections and win, win, win... Shortly is sombody like Your "Ossie" x10. And your so called Polish "right wing" society is very happy of that. Any else to explain?
THE problem here was to relegate everybody but two teams. WTF?
Yeah... better keep Bayer Uerdingen and SG Wattenscheid in the Bundesliga instead of former European Cup champions or finalists like Magdeburg, Lok Leipzig and Jena... seems legit! 🤦🏻♂️
Although Italy it's unified from 1861, the italian football league mirrors the same situation: with all the economical power moved from south to north, when football born here the teams founded from Rome to Palermo didn't got much success or titles: we waited something like 80 years to see Napoli win a title (from Campania); other clubs like Bari, Catania, Lecce or Avellino rarely appeared in Serie A, and if we count the clubs that took part at least 1 time in the major league that belong to south Italy we see only 14 teams on 67 (which is the 20%). The reality is that there's still no interest in bringing some wellness in this area and we still wait to economic benefits, that clearly could improve the sport (and in this case) football system.
but atleast you had Maradonna.
Germany also was unified in 1871 but we got Split up in 1946.
to be fair, no economic power "was moved from south to north", southern italy didn't have economic power to begin with if compared to the north (the situation got worse after wwII). And 20% representation (14 teams on 67) is quite fair if you think that only 20% of italian population lives in the south
@@carlomariamizzi8387 The center is superior to the north.
It’s more then just football, I’ve been to Sicily and am a fan of Palermo, basically south Italy as a whole is just less advanced then the north, due to most Italian revenue coming from north Italy. Hopefully this gets fixed though and we can see teams like Palermo and Catania become regulars in Serie A.
There is a former GDR club in the Bundesliga now as Union Berlin got promoted this summer.
Yes, but they didn't play in the top division during the DDR-Oberliga's final season in 89-90.

Such a great song
Was just about to comment this exact thing
the magnitude of work done by this channel is tremendous
the linkage between history, politics ... etc with sports is something very few people consider
well done!
it gets better and better, but in little steps. the 3.Liga is stacked with East German Teams now .. Halle, and Magdeburg are fighting for the 2.Bundesliga, and so on .. i live in between of both Cities, and the Season Magdeburg was in 2.Bundesliga? the whole Region went crazy ..
And yet many teams are still getting nowhere. Take former Cup final contenders Carl Zeiss Jena. Or Wismut Gera who are the best ever 2. division GDR team and are now 6. league. Or former UEFA Cup contenders Stahl Brandenburg who now play 7. division
@@cawab2995 yeah i watched the vid, but thats for whole Germany, west also has so many big Clubs from the past .. who are now gone, and gone forever. Like i said .. it gets better and better, but that takes time, and not every team can make that growth.
@@Simmi0312 I was just thinking the same. I think the video should have also mentioned that there are a number of clubs from the West that I remember as doing well in Europe that dropped out of the top division and haven't made it back yet, namely Karlsruhe and Kaiserslautern. I do think that the odds were massively stacked against the former East German teams, but I am yet to read what really could have been done to prevent what happened, maybe a more gradual introduction and more control, more East German teams in the top division or some kind of qualifying competition to see who after the top teams should go into the first and second tiers. Once you drop out of the top flight in any league across Europe if you don't have big backing (and even if you do sometimes) it i difficult getting back. East German clubs didn't have the funding so it was always going to take time, but hopefully we are getting there.
Im happy for Wismut Aue. Erzgebirge ist geil :D
What can be destroyed in 5 years takes 40 years to rebuild. So imagine how long it takes to rebuild what was destroyed over 50 years.

Thank you for your videos that provide narrative to the Bundesliga and German football in general. As an American who is a big fan of the league, it's difficult to find English speaking media that goes over the history of German football compared of course to available media of the EPL, La Liga, and Serie A.

I loved the kind of club names in GDR(1st 2nd tier). Eisenhüttenstädter FC Stahl, Rotation Berlin, Aktivist Schwarze Pumpe etc..
No. RB Leipzig is NOT an "Ost-Klub".
well, its a traditional Thing, its not a typical „Ost-Klub“ because they where build up with a fuck ton of money, and replaced a smal club, changing its name, and rising up into the Bundesliga in a few years, changing leauges almost every year, so altough its located in east germany, its not really an Ost Klub, because its has almost no Tradition
@demir niue Leipzig is located in Belgium
@demir niue When (east) germans talk about eastern clubs, they mean it in a historical and cultural way. To be an "Ostklub", you have to have existed in the GDR. RB Leipzig was founded 20 years later. Yes, geographically, it's in the eastern part of Germany ... as much as Munich or Augsburg (divide Germany purely geograhically in an eastern and western half, Bavaria has to be on the first).
RB Leipzig is an austrian Club.

I remembered when I was young waiting to for the whole week to your program called FOOTBALL MADE IN GERMANY
I’ve always been fascinated by big East German clubs not reaching their potential. Being from Scotland I always knew about Dynamo Dresdenand Hansa Rostock. Are these clubs growing their way to the top?
Struxn YT not really currently. Hansa Rostock seem to be stuck in 3.Liga forever and Dresden have had a few solid season in Bundesliga 2 but are now at the bottom of the table
@@henz097 What about Hallescher. They're top of 3.Liga and they're East German. How big a club are they?
@@felixplatt3023 last season about 8000 viewers came to their home matches. From my point of view the Hallescher FC is way smaller than Dynamo Dresden, FC Magdeburg or Hansa Rostock, but i am from west germany so i dont really know how big the club is. Halle playes its eights season in league 3 and before that they played from 1993 until 2008 in the fourth league, so you should not expect to much from them.
@@sneirosgaming4753 Thanks
Uwe Rösler told me he predicts that Dynamo Dresden will play soon Bundesliga again. It's just a matter of time. They have economically stabilized, a big fanbase, good infrastructure. Let's see.

In Leipzig gibt es nur Lok und Chemie! (In Leipzig only Lok and Chemie - Those are the two former big teams from Leipzig who have a great history and tradition)
Well RB is a young club but I still see a full stadium every home game. Add the success as well and soon Lok and Chemie will be forever gone.
@@blblblblbl395 1. RB seem to always "sell out" although there are always plenty of empty seats in the stadium. 2. Lok has a good chance of reaching the 3. Liga proving that Leipzig can have success without Red Bull. 3. Chemie always get good numbers and a better support than RB
@@cawab2995 Let's be honest here. You are comparing access in the Champions League playoffs to "good chance of reaching the 3. Liga". Leipzig is relatively big and can surely afford more than one team. Still at the end it is all about the next generations, and currently kids are much more attracted to RB than to Lok or Chemie.
@@blblblblbl395 Good point. Sad to think about all the kids getting brainwashed
@@cawab2995 Sad to see that some people still don't understand that football is nothing more than a form of business where investors are common and help the national success of the brand "bundesliga". Teams like RB Leipzig and Hoffenheim, and back in the day Wolfsburg and Leverkusen, are helping the bundesliga to grow step by step. Young german players like Kimmich (former RB player), Werner, Halstenberg, and many others were/are able to grow and develope their talent. I am not a fan of any german club but to see what the "new clubs" are doing to help young players is very good for the german football as a whole

Union Berlin was a GDR-Club. It is in the Bundesliga
Haven't been in the top Tier at the time of reunification
It's still just one team.
Good video. I knew nothing those developments. It would be good to see East German clubs make a come back.
What a great video
Congratulations. Very good documentary.I also want to add that the fall of East German clubs had many reasons. One of the reasons was the huge difference between the economies and the mentality of doing things between East and West. In 1990 the organization and the ways things were done in sports, state and economy in the east must have been VERY ALIEN to the West German state. The East german secret police(STASI), the east german army, the east german factories had sport teams. After reunification and disapearence of East german police and army why would Bundesnachrichtendienst(german secret service) take dynamo teams or why would Bundeswehr take football teams( ASG Vorwärts Leipzig, ASG Vorwärts Berlin etc)? In democracy no one could force them to do it. Like no one could force private business men from the West to take football teams of East German factories that were closing down. Market economy works different from State economy. Anyway Im happy that RB Leipzig and Union Berlin are doing well in German first League and hope that other teams will join soon. It seems that little by little we learn market economy here in the east but we still have a long way to go. 40-50 years of Communism are not easy to brush aside.
The grass is not always greener on the other side.
Great video, it's interesting what you learn about society and life through football. Great to learn about Germany and the impact of the fall of the wall. I looked at the German political election results in 2017 after watching this video, and wasn't surprised to see the AfD party getting significantly higher votes in the east of the country than the west. The issues the football clubs faced in East Germany are similar to its economic issues in general of the region. Hope things improve step by step!
In last elections in East Germany, Communists who ruled there before Berlin Wall Fall for 40 years, won elections with over 30% votes. East Germany vote for Communists massively

Der Wahnsinn! I had no idea how badly the East German clubs got screwed by West Germany.
A similar conversation occurs from time to time in the UK. The discussion is of the Scottish clubs and English clubs joining together into one league system but most people (in Scotland anyway) are 100% against it because it would threaten the very existence of some clubs.
This really opened my eyes.
I don't even watch football, but I watched this video for the history. Superb video.
If a team from the East builds a team from the right principles and eventually gains enough promotions to the Bundesliga it would be respected

I live in GDR, my Football Club was in the second devision and bis were somewhere in 10. Devision or something
Awesome and extremely interesting story.
This is one of the better and largely successful attempts to explain the development of football after reunification. However portraying RB Leipzig as a positive example is a big blunder and factually totally incorrect. If anything Red Bull abused the (from a capitalist point of view) cheap opportunities to manufacture a money making machine in the former GDR. I am not an "Ossi" but after the initial enthusiasm about reunification West German arrogance took over and any East German accomplishments were brushed aside. Perhaps there were not too many of those but a reunited Germany had a golden opportunity to (literally) make the best of 2 worlds, not only in football but in society as a whole. However rich West Germany simply saw an easy possibility to become even richer. Child care, women's rights, affordable housing and a general sense of community was left on the wayside. Only now, more than 30 years later some recognize what was lost.

Dumb question but what's the name of the song at the beginning of the video? It's a proper earworm
I used to watch Soccer Made in Germany with host Toby Charles on the U.S. PBS stations (probably 1979-80 or so). Remember Lokomotiv Leipzig, Carl Zeiss Jena, and Dynamo Dresden. Never really thought about what happened to them after those times. Interesting video to say the least.
I do not follow football at all, and this video was really interesting to watch.
Red Bull Leipzig isn't an eastern football Club
I think it was mentioned because Leipzig was East German. However, considering the club is only 10 years old, it's obviously not East German.

@@mohamedamineserrar6178 No club shoul follow this model, which isn´t even allowed by the DFL and DFB. You can´t get a member with rights in this "club", all the power is to Red Bull. The club bought a seventh division teams licence and brought money into it, just to get to first division in 8 years. Thats not fair to teams which follow the rules, with many fans and great tradition. Football in germany is more than just competing with the best (Bayern, BVB...). It´s about athmosphere in the stadium, it´s about stand together in good and bad times. And "clubs" like RB try to destroy the german football, just to promote energy drink. The real fans in Leipzig go to Lok or Chemie in division 4, because you don´t change your club, only plastic fans do this

@@MrWhitmen1981 it Just became the capital City again after reunification.
West German capitan was Bonn and east German Capital was east Berlin. That's why FC Berlin (Dynamo) was the Club of the east German Secret Police. They were the Most successful because the Stasi wanted it to be the Most successful.
I get your Point about the Recovery but that's Not entirely true. East Berlin didn't Develop nearly as quickly and as much as West Berlin. And at the Same time barely quicker than other cities Like Dresden Leipzig or Rostock.
Köpenick (where Union ist based and where Most Fans are) has been more Like a smaller City/Village itself. It's kinda far away from the City Center, so Most businesses didn't See the need to Invest there.

This is interesting, I didn't know that the former GDR had established clubs and successful ones at that, but yet many have never made it to the "modern" Bundesliga.

1:55 that was my first game in the stadium
What's the electronic song that plays in the background from 7:13 to 8:03?

It's quite symptomatic of how the whole reunification went. The reunification was basically East Germany accepting the West Germany's capitalist system. Logically, people, factories and football clubs weren't able to compete in such environment - people lost their jobs, factories closed and football clubs got relegated. In Germany, you call this process of deregulation and privatisation "Reunification", in my coutry we called it "running down the West". Today, 30 years after the Iron Curtain fell, we're all unified, but still not equal. If you ever wondered why is AfD so popular in eastern Germany (or far-right in the eastern block generally), start looking here for reasons.
It was an annexation rather than reunification
Wismut AUE! atm second most succesful team of the former East. ;)
As an American I want to really get into bundesliga especially since both sides of my family are from Germany and I still have family there but I'm not sure what team to support
What's the song right from the beginning? Does anyone know?
I think it would be better if you speak german and have subtitles ^^
no
Yes, english title and they should speak german.
Oh yes, new genius
@@lukasp5892 Wir Deutschen sollten lernen, nicht so hart auf den Akzent zu geiern, das macht aus außer uns niemand (außer vllt die Franzosen), wichtig ist, dass man ihn versteht und das tut man sehr gut, also kein problem...und glaub mir, ich finde den deutschen Akzent genauso grauenhaft wie du :D
I wouldn't have watched it if it was in German! Most of the comments are in English so I think or hope the point of the clip was to tell non Germans some history that most Germans probably know already!
Funny how only Germans seem to be bothered by his accent
Hallo Flom South Korea !!!
No mention of Energie Cottbus? Where are they now? (This from a UK Nantes, Atalanta, De Graafschaap, Naval, Eibar and PASOK result watcher....😉)
I think i just saw heinrich leroy heimer and baron helmut schnitzelnazi somewhere in the video
red bull is NOT an EAST CLUB!!!!!!!!! and they are not accepted in german football!!!!!!
Hopefully rb leipzig drop right back down to the 20th division and never come back. I would be glad if any other east german team took their place
Union Berlin in da zone
Wow shut up you idiot
The audio guy needs to work on his art: having the different pieces of BGM come and go so frequently like that was quite distracting imo.
Obviously it doesn't look so good now for the old east-German clubs. But 10+ years ago, both Hansa Rostock and Energie Cottbus were in the Bundesliga. So, it's just rn that it doesn't look so good.
