In Berlin, the previous upper limit for large outdoor events was also increased from 3,000 to 10,000 spectators. The occupancy rate of the venue may not exceed 50 percent from a spectator number of 2001. For major indoor events, there will be an upper limit of 4,000 instead of the previous 2,000 spectators. Bundesliga club 1. FC Union is allowed to play against Borussia Dortmund in front of more fans than last Sunday, Hertha BSC is playing away in Fürth.
In Saxony, RB Leipzig was already allowed to admit 15,000 visitors again on Monday. “It’s great news for us that fans are allowed into the stadium again,” said Leipzig’s Lukas Klostermann, referring to RB’s game this Friday against 1. FC Köln. “It gives back a little bit of the old football feeling. I’m also convinced that it will give us a little extra boost.”
