On the first day of the Bundesliga match, the behavior of the Wolfsburg police caused a scandal, and Lower Saxony’s interior minister apologized. Not an isolated case, say fans, just the latest example of a problematic relationship.
Relegated in times of ghost games, then a year in the second division – the fans of SV Werder had waited a long time to be able to support their club in the Bundesliga again. But the start of the season in Wolfsburg went very differently than expected for many fans: Not only were heavily armed police officers waiting at the train station, the fans were also told that they were not allowed to enter the city center.
