Trier fan march ends with injury: police investigate incident
Last week, the Trier Police Department kept the situation under control during four major events that took place over the weekend from August 8th to 10th. According to reports from Rhine newspaper Everything went smoothly and there were no special incidents. One of the events was the champagne gala, which ensures an exuberant atmosphere until August 12th.
The police paid particular attention to the fan march that took place on August 9th before the football game between SV Eintracht Trier and SG Barockstadt Fulda. The march through the city center of Trier was accompanied by a smaller group that set off pyrotechnics. This resulted in one person being slightly injured when a fireworks rocket was set off nearby. The injured person received immediate medical attention and several criminal and administrative offense cases were initiated against the perpetrators. This shows once again how delicate the handling of pyrotechnics is in a football environment.
Fan violence and its background
Unfortunately, such incidents are not unique to football. Similar aggressiveness was recently expressed at another game when an Aue fan was seriously injured after a match against Halleschen FC. This happened in Halle (Saale) when the police tried to bring the situation under control. The fan, 30 years old and from Saxony, suffered a head injury from a fall in contact with the emergency services dubisthalle.de reported. He was taken to hospital and an investigation into assault in office was launched.
According to MDR reports, violence in football is often not a random event, but the result of planned actions. Fan researcher explain that such acts of violence often come from men who are struggling with experiences of failure in society. Football then becomes a place where they attempt to define their identity and experience a sense of success through transgression.
Overall, the situation shows that despite the calm events in Trier, a serious problem still exists: violence among football fans. More prevention is required here in order to avoid such incidents in the future and to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
