Colourful fan culture or the stupidest achievement since 1909?
Hansa and St. Pauli
One of the fiercest rivalries in German football since their very first meeting in 1993. Pauli's left-wing attitude and nationalistic tendencies amongst parts of the Hansa fan scene seemed to "connect" immediately.
Sold out ghost game in Dresden
Because of riots during a cup tie, Dynamo Dresden had to play a league game behind closed doors. Despite the ban, the second division outfit started to offer tickets to the fans.

German Football Museum in Dortmund
In 2009, DFB (German FA) announced that the new German Football Museum will come into existence in Dortmund.

The completion of the building is planned for 2014. Uber Football will stick to it and report about progress on the construction at irregular intervals.
