An illegal meeting of up to 40 football fans of the Berlin regional league club BFC Dynamo was broken up by the police on Friday evening.

The group in fan clothing wanted to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the club in Berlin-Lichtenberg “appropriately”, contrary to the Corona rules, as the police announced on Saturday.

It should therefore be burned down pyrotechnics, with legal and illegal fireworks.

The officers confiscated the material.

A baton and suspected drugs were also seized.

Some fans insulted the security forces, a 47-year-old tried to hit a police officer, it said.

He was provisionally arrested.

The message states: "He was brought into police custody that he could leave after an ordered blood sample."

All persons involved were sent off.

In addition to reports of insult, the officials also noted violations of the Explosives Act and the Infection Protection Act.

18 notifications were initiated.

After the fall of the wall, things went downhill

The BFC Dynamo, founded in 1966, was the record champion of the GDR Oberliga with ten titles and was considered the favorite and model club of the SED leadership.

While the rival 1. FC Union, which was mostly inferior in GDR times, is now at the top of the Bundesliga, things went downhill for BFC, which has since been renamed FC Berlin.

Despite this development, there is still a larger fan base today.

BFC Dynamo is currently in the fourth division and seventh in the Regionalliga Nordost.

Due to the pandemic, the games are currently suspended.

When and whether the game will resume this season is currently not clear.
