With the victory at Hertha BSC, the 1st FC Kaiserslautern was able to settle in the top group of the 2nd league. However, their team in Berlin could not support some fans.
The 1-0 away win of her team at Hertha BSC on Saturday evening was not able to follow 219 supporters of the 1st FC Kaiserslautern as planned in the Olympic Stadium. As the “BZ” reports, they were stopped by the police on their arrival – and sent back to their homeland.
The reason: The Lautern fans are said to have been involved in a fight at a rest area near Eisenach. Apparently there was a accidental meeting with supporters from third division Alemannia Aachen. These were on the way to the guest performance of their team at Erzgebirge Aue. According to the “BZ”, the FCK supporters had stolen the Aachen fan clothing. Then they fled to their coaches.
Apparently, the fans of the “Red Devil” had not made the bill with the Thuringia police. She put a hundred in another rest area near the Schkeuditzer Kreuz. LKA officials from Berlin also arrived on site, it is said.
The away drivers then immediately felt the consequences for their misconduct at Eisenach. They were banned from staying for the capital and had to go back to Kaiserslautern in four coaches under police accompaniment in four coaches. They missed the top game of the 2nd Bundesliga accordingly.
The 1. FC Kaiserslautern confirmed during the game on the “Bluesky” platform that his own fan scene was not in the stadium due to incidents on arrival to Berlin and was sent home by the police. “We will process this case with everyone involved as soon as we have more detailed information,” said the club.
