Overview

  • A 39-year-old Borussia Dortmund supporter died after being pushed and falling during a post-match altercation outside St. Pauli’s Millerntorstadion, according to police.
  • Officers located a 22-year-old suspect at an address in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel and briefly detained him, then released him after consultation with prosecutors because custody grounds were not met.
  • Criminal police say the victim, apparently intoxicated, repeatedly approached a group before being shoved; the homicide unit has taken over the investigation and witnesses are sought.
  • The DFB sports court handed Dortmund defender Filippo Mane a one-match ban for his late red card, ruling him out against Union Berlin on August 31, with the earliest return after the international break, around September 13 at Heidenheim.
  • Ex–vice chancellor Robert Habeck will surrender his Bundestag mandate on September 1 to research and teach abroad, and his interview criticizing Markus Söder and Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner drew an immediate rebuke from Söder.
