about every major european city has at least a couple world famous soccer teams what about here in berlin. despite being capital of football crazed germany berlin zone as being a bit of a soccer black hole better known for thumping techno and fine are going for sports . are the city's biggest team yes they usually play in the bundesliga but they struggle and they've been the only top team in town for a long time so berlin hasn't had 2 teams in the bundesliga since the seventy's. and it's a city with a lot of football but i don't think it's a football city here's her to legend and current manager mikhail credits his response when i ask him if it's a football city. it could be better of course but that looks at the changes this season that's now the newly promoted you known berlin from the east and heritage in

the west both represent berlin in the bundesliga something you can't say for anywhere else in germany. it's just 15 years in berlin finally becomes a football city. or has it always been one there is constantly a game got the most teams playing at every level in the country it's not like people don't love soccer here but there are reasons it's not seen as a football city let's start with those. really has a historical feature that sets it apart from just about every city in the world even today all this is played out in the shadow of the berlin wall. it's not just the dark rooms that make berlin special few places on earth have witnessed such a tumultuous past as the city and its this history that continues to define berlin . the city was smack in the center of the cold war germany was split between east and west while the capital was divided as well. roughly 40 years of division shape

today's football landscape. passion for football is built on rivalries you can get out with a good neighbors now i'm easy to do when there's literally a wall cutting your city and. your own fan and writer in go deal is all about this . cup in the west we're going to watch the clock in the east so they supported each other so it was like a friendship. in east and west they drink different beers they even had different lights at their crosswalks no surprise they had vastly different football. east and west germany had separate leaks meaning many of biggest clubs like heritage and in your own head rarely played each other west berlin was surrounded by east germany cut off from regional competition. isolation meant most teams couldn't push each other or develop lasting rivalries. when the wall came down and clubs in the west of germany had the cash to poach players from eastern sides and berlin's been

a relatively poor city until recently. they've been leanest in the hair to fan for decades. she's proud of how much her club has gotten out of a limited budget. cuts . in. rich western clubs have dominated since the fall of the wall 30 years back former east german clubs are a rarity in the upper leagues which means her to entering your own don't have much competition nearby in the top tier not easy to be a football city with empty coffers and limited local competition but constant change is built into berlin's d.n.a. on paper headed for the biggest club in the city should be a football. empowered in their own way. west berlin's top side were founded before

the turn of the century have plenty of history and are in a regional but mislead a member here to draw an average of 49000 fans a game more than chelsea you pay in p.s.g. unfortunately big crowds in a boisterous oscar aren't enough to guarantee a good atmosphere at that massive the limbic stadium which is still half empty with 40000 people on it. its heritage they just haven't captured the city's imagination salomon kalou is probably heritage most recognizable player still he told us his favorite part of living in berlin is the peace and quiet. if you go outside to see the number the remarkable finds i think would be the big difference. i am not sure if that screams football city characters ads from last season actually had the motto of in berlin you can be anything even a haircut fan inspired. despite their tradition in fan culture hair

to have a reputation for being a bit soulless it doesn't help that they're so middle of the road on the field just because then ferry covers berlin's lower league football for bloody hell magazine. i got nothing. against head but they had to find them very boring because what some find boring means authenticity is a long time spans the whole changes she believes it's just not going to have one g.'s i find my mind to be. much. that might change care to clearly have grander designs and investor pumped 125000000 euros into the club this offseason leading to some exciting new signings including breaking their transfer record and dodi luka bucky oh. we need some some some success too to build a big. football community as we're as we can see of endorsements

and go good. hair to claim to represent the whole city on your own haven't strayed from their local eastern roots. in your own stand for the past apparel and soccer they have a storied history presenting themselves as an alternative to the state police back to normal for a win in the d.d.r. era and they all have an intractable relationship to their neighborhood of corruption it plus the fans have literally given up blood sweat and tears for their own. it's not like 20089 that was like the last rebuilding off the stadium where a lot of modern like 2000 fans actually took part in terror really their. own spin actions have made global headlines perpetuating an oft oversimplified myth i know many fans roll their eyes when they hear the phrase cold club yes i'm tired of that really. improved play and the legendary status of their fan culture has caused some growing pains. this family feeling was being.

challenged at the moment and in the past 3 years the stadium was almost every game sold out we have 30000 members you know we have like i think. just go with the wrong follows and. in typical fashion when you didn't raise ticket prices for their 1st ever promotion to the bundesliga it will be a tough slog at the top but selling out the stadium won't be a problem on your own inherit some may have had across well friendship in the old days and this is only their 3rd ever season in the same league still promotion could reset things. you don't inherit so far and in fact be fierce rivals but if the no one can manage to stay up long enough for the cue props to develop a history of playing against one another this therapy might just be what it takes to weeknight the soccer scene in this. but does berlin really need hair to anyone you want to succeed to become a football city or has it been one all along. what's

a football city it's lots when you look only like it's just successful like in professional football when you look at the culture of culture is a very. football culture and we have like board for want to throw in has just about as many soccer teams as turners can't walk more than 5 minutes about stumbling on a charming historic ground the clubs dotting the city have proud histories and ties to their local community is so let's run through a dense and diverse footballing landscape a little known to those outside of the german capital. founded in berlin in 1908 as the country's oldest active club ethnic clubs like to keep. as community centers for immigrant or minority groups came forward even on the verge of promotion to the 2nd division in the ninety's but were falsely penalized for incorrectly registering a foreign player i guess that's just multicultural berlin for you doubtless barrack

base just outside of berlin playing the same ground as women's powerhouse to being a part stem and sport a politically engaged altruists you. are going to sleep inside tennis or. day have a different style support but equally progressive identity is the body of the movie. i just talked about it was rough and i was off i'm stuck on that. because the condition. of what i see their history in west berlin and the regional leagues in the ninety's means that you seen both in your own and terror as rivals as good t.v. it was we were inside the body but when you want this isn't your thought is the movie theater idea so much if you have to. program it when i'm not trying to find out when shot i'm going off on how to friends about the plan and also it's not all berlin football history is glorious just look at his money over land. his money

have the proud distinction of the peninsula has the worst ever record. 10 times d.d.r. champs formerly favored by the east german secret police today they play in the 4th division but are still probably union's biggest rivals then ingo won't even say their name so i'm not going to say the name of god going to. buy that no this fair amount of ball and said to him to the stadium and i wish i could tell you that that within our future outbreak in east berlin but unfortunately has a reputation of being filled with frightening fans so in the off chance they can smell my ethnic background i think it's time we get out of here. for every cool team playing at the local or regional level berlin has about 15 non-league side it's nonstop football here in berlin and all of these lower division clubs have their own identities in stories to tell. the scene is fantastic but it seems like

a waste with all these awesome teams whiling away in the 4th 5th and 6th divisions . berlin is nothing if not constantly changing soccer here is no different. but expect more from a german city with 4000000 residents the berlin is buzzing about having 2 teams in the bundesliga for the 1st time in over 40 years. it would be of course a lot of pressure to do so in the city like. between. though plenty of the city's football fans might not even be watching the derby. but if you're living in berlin and you're watching just these 2 clubs in your head you're missing out on so much football and there is drama there is action that you're liable to get laughed at for suggesting berlin is a soccer city it's still a far cry from london or madrid but things finally seem set to change at the top thanks so when you own any character and as we have seen the basis is there for even more once you scratch the surface.
