Overview

• Player agent Roger Wittmann sought an interim injunction in Heidelberg to overturn TSG Hoffenheim’s stadium and house ban and regain access to his long‑held suite and the training center.
• TSG executives Frank Briel and Andreas Schicker defended the ban by citing repeated insults against officials and a threatened kick in a garage, asserting the club’s house rights via its Spielbetriebs‑GmbH.
• The club presented audio recordings it says capture slurs against club president Jörg Albrecht and director Frank Kramer and a threat toward CEO Markus Schütz, while Wittmann submitted a cease‑and‑desist declaration without admitting the quotes.
• Both sides left the hearing without agreement as the court encouraged a negotiated settlement by Monday before issuing a decision the following Friday.
• Club patron Dietmar Hopp has condemned the ban and said he was not involved, a stance that conflicts with the club’s earlier account and underscores the strain around Wittmann’s longstanding influence at Hoffenheim.
