Stopped by the police! That’s why the Rostock Ultras are only now in the stadium

According to plan, the stadium gates will open in 10 minutes. Then around 28,000 Dynamo supporters and around 3,000 Hansa fans will stream into the Rudolf Harbig Stadium.

The party is sold out. Tickets for the home section were available within an hour.

Fans of Dynamo and Hansa can be happy today: Even those who do not have a subscription to MagentaSport will get their money’s worth.

The East duel will be broadcast on free TV on both MDR and NDR. Both channels also offer a free stream on the Internet. Of course, the match will also be offered as a pay stream on MagentaSport.

In the long history of the Eastern duel between Dynamo and Hansa, there have been numerous players who have either moved directly from one club to the other, or played for both.

Players who responded directly were:

Bernd Jakubowski 1976, Uwe Kirchner 1990, Thomas Köhler 1992, Rocco Milde 1996, Marco Vorbeck 2005, Jan Koch 2006, Dexter Langen 2006, Maik Wagefeld 2007, Jan Strehlow 2008, Florian Grossert 2010, Martin Stoll 2011, Tobias Jänicke 2012, Denis Erd Mann 2015, Tim Värynen 2017, Kevin Ehlers 2017, Marcel Hilßner 2017, Osman Atilgan 2019, Morris Schröter 2022.

Goalkeeper Axel Keller and former captain Sebastian Pelzer also play for both clubs.

The police will make every effort to prevent Hansa fans from reaching the stadium on foot. Therefore, all supporters arriving by car should head to the car park at the Rinne in Ostragehege. From there, shuttle buses will take them to the stadium..

Fans who arrive by train should get off at Dresden-Neustadt station. Shuttle buses are also available there. The organized fan buses should head to the Wiesenholz rest area on the motorway. From there, the buses will be guided to the parking lot in the Rinne.

The shuttle buses from this car park to the stadium start running at 11.30 a.m., the shuttle buses from Neustadt train station start running at 10.30 a.m.

The referee for the Eastern clash between Dynamo and Hansa today, Saturday, is Timo Gerach (37) from Landau. Dynamo has had a positive experience under the management of the business economist.

He has refereed seven matches involving the black and yellows, resulting in four wins and three defeats. The last match under his direction was the 1:2 defeat in the Saxony derby in Aue on February 18th of this year. The referee has refereed five matches involving Hansa, resulting in one win for Rostock, compared to two defeats and two draws.

Most recently, there was a lot of excitement about Gerach during the Bundesliga match between VfB Stuttgart and 1. FSV Mainz 05 on August 31st. The Landau player gave Mainz a penalty, which in retrospect should not have been given because it was a dive. Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß was annoyed after the game.

Today in Dresden, Gerach Tobias Schultes (33) from Betzigau and Christoph Kluge (24) from Bremen are assisting. The fourth official is Henry Müller (35) from Cottbus.

For many fans it was one of the worst moments: 6 February 2022 Dynamo and Hansa met for the last time. The SGD has no good memories of it.

After just 18 minutes the score was already 0:4. Then, as now, Oliver Bastista Meier and Christoph Daferner were part of the black and yellow team. “The things just flew around our ears, then there was silence in the stadium. I still remember that. And the stupid thing was, we still had over 70 minutes to play,” remembers Daferner.

The Dynamo vs. Hansa party is classified as a high-risk match. The police have prepared accordingly. Several hundred police units will be deployed on Saturday to secure the party outside the stadium. Water cannons will even be deployed.

The police in Dresden are also supported by forces from Mecklenburg and Brandenburg. According to Bild, the city of Dresden has also issued a ban on carrying certain items between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

These include balaclavas, work gloves and chains.

Hansa Rostock travels to Dynamo Dresden on Matchday 6 without a win and with only three points on the board. It’s clear that the mood on the Kogge has been better in the past.

Coach Bernd Hollerbach assessed the situation as follows: “It’s a great atmosphere. I helped to inaugurate the stadium when I was still an assistant coach at Schalke. I’ve also played in the stadium with Würzburg. It’s a derby, there.” “We want to play courageously. In derbies, it’s often the case that you don’t need to play fancy games, but rather passion and duels, and we want to take on those,” said the coach before the game.

After its reconstruction, the Rudolf Harbig Stadium was officially inaugurated on 15 September 2009 with a match against FC Schalke 04.

So far, Dynamo and Hansa have met each other 66 times in the DDR-Oberliga, the Bundesliga, the 2. Bundesliga and the 3. Liga.

The record speaks in favor of the black and yellows. The SGD has 27 wins, compared to 22 draws and 17 defeats.

“The flow of traffic will be interrupted from time to time due to police measures,” police spokesman Marko Laske announced on Friday.

The general situation on the streets of the Saxon state capital is already tense following the construction of the Caroloa Bridge and the associated closures and diversions.

Local fans are asked to travel by public transport, as parking spaces at the stadium are very limited and there may be long traffic jams and associated waiting times. However, there are numerous changes at the DVB due to the flooding, the bridge situation and the Nicolaistrasse construction site.

Fans should inform themselves about this. There may also be significant restrictions on train services after the game. There will be restrictions at Dresden Central Station from 5 p.m.

The RE50 to Leipzig departs from Dresden Mitte at 6 p.m. (last train from the main station at 5.50 p.m.).

The Trilex RB 61 and RE 1 Bautzen-Görlitz will depart from Dresden Neustadt station from 5 p.m., and rail replacement services will operate between Bischofswerda and Bautzen.

Trains in the direction of Priestewitz, Großenhain, Ruhland and Senftenberg depart from Dresden Neustadt. The connections in the direction of Chemnitz, Altenberg and the S1 depart from the main station as scheduled.

The personnel situation at Dynamo looks better than at Hansa. Dmytro Bohdanov (suspension after a red card in the A-Juniors game) and Kyu-Hyun Park (wisdom tooth surgery) are still missing, but all the other problem children have at least started training again.

However, it might be too early for Jonas Oehmichen and Tom Berger to play. There is also a question mark over Vinko Sapina, who has recently been suffering from muscular problems.

Rostock will definitely have to do without the two defensive players King Manu and Jan Mejdr (both with muscular problems). Former Auer players Antonio Jonjic and Dario Gebuhr have also been injured recently. It is unclear whether they will be fit in time for the summit today.

In addition, goalkeeper Elias Höftmann and defender Dominik Lanius were out. Both are still recovering from knee injuries.

Will Dynamo manage to sink the Kogge today? On paper, the roles seem to be clearly distributed, but in a derby, that usually doesn’t count. It’s about completely different virtues than just a fine blade.

Good morning and welcome to our live ticker. The Eastern European clash Dynamo vs. Hansa Rostock will take place at 2 p.m. today. We will provide you with all the important information about the explosive duel.
