Ostfußball and Fan Culture in Unified Germany Joakim Glaser Ostfußball and Fan Culture in Unified Germany Fig. 14.1 Introduction Football clubs have played and still play an important and vital identification role in Germany. Male football on the highest level, however, is to a large ex- tent a West German singularity. The picture above from Magdeburg’s stadium is a case in point. The mural painting is located beneath the terrace where the most fanatic Magdeburg fans support their side during home games. It is a tribute to the heydays of 1. FC Magdeburg, displaying the international op- ponents they met in different European cups from the late 1960’s to 1991. Thus, it’s obvious that the most successful period of Magdeburg coincides with East Germany. Since the demise of the GDR, 1. FC Magdeburg has played far away from the big stadiums of Europe and Germany. © Wilhelm Fink Verlag, 2019 | doi:10.30965/9783846761939_015 202 Joakim Glaser This is only one of many examples of a new reality East German football clubs and their fans had to face after the German unification. Above all, this is a result of the transformation from the state controlled socialist football of the GDR to the market-oriented capitalist football of the Federal Republic on the one hand, and the far-reaching consequences of the merger of the two German football associations in 1990, in which the East German clubs got the worst of it on the other.1 In the 2015/16-season there was not one single club from the former GDR in the first German league, 1. Bundesliga. Admittedly, in the second league, 2. Bundesliga, there were two teams from the territory that once constituted the GDR: 1. FC Union Berlin and RB Leipzig. The latter club, however, is owned by an Austrian energy drink corporation and was established only in 2009, which means that it lacks a GDR heritage. 1. FC Union Berlin, on the other hand, is a totally different story. That the club from Köpenick in the southeast of the German capital is the most success- ful team from the GDR in today’s Germany is somewhat ironic. In the GDR, Union Berlin hardly ever played an important role in top football. Despite the lack of success, the club was the most popular club in East Berlin, and some of their fans were stigmatized by the authorities as troublesome dissidents. One explanation for this is that Union’s popularity was a thorn in the flesh to Stasi leader Erich Mielke, who was a staunch supporter of Berliner FC Dynamo, the local rival that was closely associated with the SED-regime.2 25 years after the German unification, the majority of the most success- ful teams of East Germany played in the periphery of German football, in the 3. Bundesliga or, as is the case with BFC Dynamo, in the fourth tier, Regionalliga Nordost, and in some cases even further down in the league system. Nonetheless, football in eastern Germany, or Ostfußball as it is often referred to, is an interesting topic in many aspects. Firstly, football clubs and fan culture are both rare cultural phenomena with their roots in the GDR that still have an impact on identity formation in unified Germany, which the high attendanc- es at games for example from 1. FC Magdeburg or Dynamo Dresden show.3 1 Only two teams from the GDR were invited to play in the Bundesliga for the 1991/92-sea- son. At the same time the Bundesliga was extended with two teams for a number of seasons. See Nico Schwarze und Christoph Stamm, »Parteikontrollierte Offensive. Die poli- tische Instrumentalisierung des Fußballsports in der DDR«, in: Das Spiel mit dem Fußball. Interessen, Projektionen und Vereinnahmungen, Jürgen Mittag and Uwe Nieland (Eds.), Essen 2007. 2 Gerald Karpa, »Wiederstandsclub Union Berlin?«, in: Horch und Guck, 2012 (75). 3 In the 2015/16-season Dresden has had an average attendance of approximately 27 000 and Magdeburg 17 000, although they reside in the 3. Bundesliga. See http://www.liga3-online.de/ die-zuschauertabelle-der-3-liga/ (last accessed 1st of February 2016)..

  • Confronting the Holocaust in Philip Kerr's Bernie Gunther Novels
    ATLANTIS Journal of the Spanish Association of Anglo-American Studies 38.1 (June 2016): 89-107 issn 0210-6124 “But What’s One More Murder?” Confronting the Holocaust in Philip Kerr’s Bernie Gunther Novels Anthony Lake Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates [email protected] Philip Kerr’s Bernie Gunther series of Nazi Germany-set historical crime novels use irony in the exploration of themes of complicity, guilt and redemption in relation to the Holocaust. The use of irony enables Kerr’s protagonist Bernie Gunther to confront and describe the Holocaust and establish his sense of selfhood as an anti-Nazi. However, it does not empower him to resist the Nazis actively. Bernie seeks to confront the Holocaust and describe his experiences as an unwilling Holocaust perpetrator when he led an SS police battalion at Minsk in 1941. Later, his feelings of guilt at his complicity with the Nazis in the Holocaust haunt him, and he seeks redemption by pursuing justice to solve conventional murders. The redemption that Bernie Gunther pursues is called into question in the ninth novel in the series, A Man Without Breath (2013), when the possibility of active resistance to the Nazis is revealed to him when he witnesses the Rosenstrasse Protests in Berlin in 1943. This revelation raises the questions of agency and choice, and forces an ordinary German like Bernie Gunther to confront the possibility that he might have actively opposed the Nazis, rather than allow himself to become their accomplice. Keywords: detective fiction; Holocaust; Philip Kerr; irony; guilt; redemption . “¿Qué supone un asesinato más?” Afrontando el Holocausto en las novelas de Philip Kerr sobre Bernie Gunther En las novelas policiacas de Philip Kerr sobre Bernie Gunther, ambientadas en la Alemania Nazi, el autor recurre con frecuencia a la ironía para explorar temas como la complicidad, la culpa o la redención en relación con el Holocausto.
