After renewed riots in the 2nd Bundesliga, SC Paderborn has made serious allegations against some fans of FC Hansa Rostock. Hansa CEO Robert Marien wants to hold the rioters accountable.
After the riots during the 3-0 defeat in Paderborn, Robert Marien, CEO of Hansa Rostock, announced consequences to “Bild”.
An apology and distancing would not be enough; instead there would be “significant penalties – period.”
“There is no sugarcoating or trivializing. There can be no punishments that are too soft; we will have to talk about clear consequences. The fact is that the external image and the events are now a complete catastrophe, there is no other way to describe it. The will also have significant consequences,” Marien is quoted as saying.
He also announced an investigation into the video material, of which there is said to be a lot, as he learned from Paderborn managing director Martin Hornberger: “We will work through it and then the club will issue consequences and there will certainly be criminal proceedings.”
Hansa will also make its contribution to “processing and, of course, settling the damage.” As Marien further reported, there were “solidarity actions and riots against the police” during the admission phase after ten people were refused entry. This resulted in property damage and injuries.
the essentials in brief
Riots at Paderborn vs. Rostock: injured, riots and pyrotechnics
Already on Friday evening, the SCP and the Paderborn police issued a joint statement, which said: “With a high level of criminal energy, a few away fans crossed borders, suffered injuries to uninvolved stadium visitors as well as massive damage to property and a game being abandoned.”
The investigation into the suspects is ongoing. There is already an initial assessment of the events; the incidents therefore went far beyond the use of pyrotechnics.
Shortly before the end of the game, a guest fan climbed over a fence into the seating area and seriously injured a neutral spectator in the head. The man therefore had to be taken to hospital by ambulance.
During the game, “around 150 violent guest fans” gathered in front of the exit of the block and threw various objects at the emergency services.
“Eight security service employees and twelve police officers suffered injuries, one policewoman had to be treated in a Paderborn hospital with a cut,” the statement said.

Flares after protests
As expected, the fans of both clubs were silent for twelve minutes on Friday evening to protest against the decision to invest in the German Football League (DFL).
However, flares then flew onto the pitch and referee Wolfgang Haslberger interrupted the match and only allowed play to continue after eight minutes.
In the second half, Haslberger had to interrupt the game again for almost 20 minutes due to pyrotechnics.
The game was about to be abandoned. Only after lengthy discussions between the referee team, the DFL and the local police did things continue.
Paderborn’s managing director is horrified
“I’ve been there for 22 years – but I’ve never experienced anything like this. Everything that needed to be destroyed was destroyed,” said Paderborn’s managing director Martin Hornberger on “Sky”.
And further: “I saw pictures from the surveillance cameras – it was war! That has absolutely nothing to do with football and fan culture.”
Hornberger estimated the material damage caused to catering stands, sanitary facilities and entry controls at around 100,000 euros.
He therefore called for consequences: “The DFL and the DFB have to consider whether they should allow clubs that have fans who are prone to such violence into other stadiums. They have shown complete violence.”

Borussia fans with chocolate thalers protest
The Borussia Mönchengladbach supporters didn’t just leave it with a banner, but after a few minutes of the game, hundreds of chocolate gold thalers flew from the “Foals” fan block onto the lawn of Borussia Park. This is also a message to the DFL, which would like to open itself up to investors in the future. © foal photo

Speidel criticizes Hansa fans
Hansa’s interim coach Uwe Speidel clearly criticized the perpetrators of violence: “Regardless of the sporting situation, this is very unpleasant for all of us and cannot be tolerated on our part.”
Last week, in Rostock’s home game against Schalke 04 (0-2), fans of both clubs caused an interruption of more than 25 minutes due to commotion in the stands.
