Overview

• The city of Dresden issued a general order for Saturday’s Dynamo Dresden vs. Karlsruher SC match, restricting specified items around Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion from 17:30 to 24:00.
• Prohibited items include metal rods, pyrotechnics, stones, knives, helmets, balaclavas, protective gloves, and vests, with police aiming to prevent opposing fans from meeting.
• Dresden authorities expect the full local risk-fan scene and warn that any unimpeded encounter between rival supporters could lead to immediate physical confrontations.
• In Duisburg, police deployed a large force for MSV vs. Hansa Rostock, set a strict separation line from Bahnhof Schlenk to the guest entrance, and installed a crowd-control entry system for thorough checks.
• About 4,000 Hansa supporters traveled for the sold-out 27,500‑spectator match, with a glass ban and parking restrictions in place and warnings that pyrotechnics can trigger nationwide stadium bans and criminal charges.
