Overview

• Landgericht Heidelberg ordered TSG Hoffenheim to end the stadium exclusion, allowing Rogon’s rented box to be used by Roger Wittmann.
• The house ban for the non-public training facility in Zuzenhausen remains in force under the club’s property rights.
• The court said it assumes Wittmann uttered the alleged insults and a threat, yet deemed them an inadequate basis for a stadium ban due to their age and private nature.
• The judgment is not final, with both parties able to appeal to the Oberlandesgericht Karlsruhe within one month.
• Hoffenheim said it will review the reasoning, stated respect for the ruling and condemned severe insults, and it previously declined Wittmann’s offer of a cease-and-desist.
